Coventry Cathedral was destroyed by fire in 1940. These 14th. century hand carved nails from its roof were formed into a cross which became a symbol of reconciliation in a divided world. When the diocese of Worcester its 1300th anniversary in 1980 this cross of nails was given to it by the Bishop and people of Coventry.

Something strange happened when I clicked on your site today – it said “website expired”. I had to search by Google to find this one.
My blog moved onto a different server about a year a ago. I think perhaps for some reason you were directed to the old server which is now off line. I hope it doesn’t happen again!
what a great tribute and idea!!!
I found it moving that one Church would present this to another on a special occasion.
Nails have a certain Christian significance.
Yes.
Moving, CP.
I thought so too.
