Nail

Discovering the meaning of the term clove is what we are going to do, but, first of all, we must know its etymological origin. In this case, it must be stated that it is a cultism that derives from the Latin “clavus”, which can be translated as “nail” or “rudder”.

A nail is a thin, elongated object that has a point and a head and is used to fix something. Nails are made of metal and must be hit on their head so that the point is inserted into a place and thus an element can be secured to something else.

NailFor example: “I'm going to look for some nails to hang the poster,” “I'll try to repair the chair with nails, but I don't know if I can,” “The nail couldn't withstand the weight of the painting, it ended up falling.”

There are nails of different sizes. The thicker and more extensive it is, the more weight it can support. Nailing a sheet of cardboard is not the same as supporting a wooden shelf: different nails will be needed for both actions.

It is common to use a hammer to drive a nail into a surface. With one hand you must hold the nail, placing the tip on what this piece must pierce. With your other hand, hit the head of the nail with a hammer. Each stroke will drive the tip of the nail further and further into the surface. It is important to carry out this task with caution since, if the hammer hits a finger, a very painful injury can occur.

Without a doubt, the best-known nails in history are those used to carry out the crucifixion of Christ. Nails that have generated endless controversies, mysteries and theories. And until today there are many legends that revolve around them and where they are found.

Thus, there are theories that establish that they were used by the mother of Emperor Constantine I to melt them and make them part of her son's armor and also the bit of his horse. And so he thought that his offspring would always have divine protection.

However, another legend indicates that these nails were used to melt and shape the iron crown that was used in Italy to crown the kings of this country since the Middle Ages.

To all this we must add that, like many other relics of which there are numerous doubts about their origin, there are some nails that are venerated in different corners of the world and which are indicated to have been the ones with which Jesus was crucified. Thus, they can be found one by one in these places: the Royal Palace of Madrid, the Holy Cross of Jerusalem, the Cathedral of Milan and in Rome.
