The six-inch-long piece of nail was discovered in a box in a cavity in the vault of the monastery, and is inscribed ‘IR’ - which translates to ‘Jesus is King’.

A nail thought to have been used in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ has been unearthed in the secret chamber of a monastery.

Archaeologists claim to have made the astonishing find while working in the Milevsko monastery in the Czech Republic.

The six-inch-long piece of nail was discovered in a box in a cavity in the vault of the monastery, and is inscribed ‘IR’ - which translates to ‘Jesus is King’. 

Experts claim the hidden room was used to hide rare artefacts from raids by Hussite troops in the early 15th century.

Radio Prague reports that researchers cannot confirm whether the nail came from the ‘True Cross’, but say the discovery is “even greater than the reliquary of St Maurus”. 

The Maurus Reliquary is a large gold box containing fragments of the bodies of Saint Maurus, Saint John the Baptist and Saint Timothy.

Archaeologists have previously uncovered dozens of nails claimed to be linked to the crucifixion, leading experts to remain skeptical about the new find.

Jiří Šindelář, who took part in the discovery, told ČTK news agency: “Because the Hussites destroyed the archive, there was no information that such a thing was here.” Experts will verify the findings next year, he added.

It comes after a study revealed that nails controversially linked to the crucifixion have fragments of ancient bone and wood embedded in them. 

The nails were allegedly found in Jerusalem, in a first-century burial cave believed to be the resting place of Caiaphas - the Jewish priest who sent Jesus to his death in the Bible.

At some point after the cave was excavated in 1990, however, the nails went missing.

Years later, filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici claimed to have found the nails, even saying that they were used to crucify Jesus himself in the 2011 documentary, Nails Of The Cross.

At the time, scholars slammed the suggestion, denying that the nails Jacobovici had found were the same ones from Caiaphas' tomb.

But the study concluded that the nails are indeed the same ones - and that they were probably used to crucify someone too.

Pastor Adeboye Shares Testimony Of How God Helped Him And His Poor Uncle To Feed In 1956

General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor E.A. Adeboye, has shared an interesting testimony of how God miraculously helped him and his poor uncle in 1956 when they were hungry and had nothing to eat, IgbereTV reports.

He shared the testimony on his Instagram page. It reads;

"Years ago, I think it was in 1956, I was living with my uncle who was poor but I was poorer. If he had anything, we shared and when there is nothing, there is nothing. There was this day we were very hungry and there was no way food could come at all. Suddenly, a young girl came and said, “My sister said I should give you this pounded yam, vegetable and chicken.” My uncle said “I don’t know your sister. Are you sure”? The girl insisted so we took the food and my uncle said he would look for a gift to give her some other time and she left.

As soon as she left, we descended on the pounded yam and as soon as we finished it, the girl came back and said the food was not for him. I decree to you today, the miracle you don’t deserve, the Lord will send it to you this week."
