Relics from the Crucifixion

by J. Charles Wall

All relics from Christ’s crucifixion have a similarly fascinating story, all of which are told here in this 1910 work by the enterprising Catholic investigator Charles Wall.

Among the things you’ll discover in these pages:

• The miracle that revealed to St. Helena which of the three discovered crosses was that of Jesus
• The horse’s bit made from a nail of the True Cross, and the successes it brought the horse’s rider
• The nails — and why there are so many in existence today
• A history of the fortunes the Crown of Thorns to those who held them, and a list of towns where thorns are found
• Where, in 1492, workmen accidentally discovered again the actual board on which “King of the Jews” was written
• The modest Frenchman who saved a holy nail from profanation during the French Revolution
• Drawings of the spear of Longinus, and reports of its later use in battles
• Relics of Jesus’s actual blood from the Crucifixion: and why it makes sense that some still exists
• The veil of Veronica, Christ’s seamless robe, and much more!
