Rugged Three Nail Cross design represents the hand forged nails that were used at the crucifixion of Christ. The three nails symbolize those used on His hands and feet, as well as the three prayers He prayed while on the cross. The first prayer was for forgiveness of those around him. "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing" (Luke 23:34). The second prayer was a question to His Heavenly Father. "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" (Mark 15:34). The third prayer surrendered His spirit to the Heavenly Father. "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." (Luke 23:46) With the three nails and prayers, Christ died for our sins. Wear this cross to show your faith and remember that "these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest is love." (1 Corinthians 13:13).
