I met a girl who was wearing a necklace that was a horse shoe nail on a heavy cord. My daughter asked her where she got it, and she said it was very important and her church gave it to her. I didn't want to press her for details, but I was wondering what the significance of it was. I recognize a "nail of the cross", but usually I just see crosses made out of nails, or see actual farriers wearing them, not just a single nail. Can anyone tell me why she considers it so important?

The nail which held Jesus to the cross was at least that big.

Maybe for luck? Horseshoes are known to be lucky. But really, I think that the horseshoe nail necklace was probably just a personal momento rather than some sort of holy or superstitious object.

Think about for a minute. I don't think they had nice shiny nails back in the day. They were probably more like a railroad spike. That, would be a little much to wear on the neck, so I'm thinking that the horseshoe nail was as close as she thought she would get.

For want of a nail, the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe, the horse was lost.
For want of a horse, the battle was lost.
From loss of the battle, a war was lost."
One should always have a spare nail. Guess she's prepared for Battle

She considers it important because her church gave it to her.
I have no idea what the story was that came along with the nail, but apparently she must have liked it.
