Archaeologists Believe They Have Unearthed Piece Of Cross Used To Crucify Jesus

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Archaeologists working at an ancient church in Turkey believe they have unearthed a piece of the cross used to crucify Jesus.
But it could take years of analysis before the world will know for sure.
“We have found a holy thing in a chest; it’s a piece of a cross,” said one of the archaeologists.


The church also has frescoes on its walls depicting Jesus, Mary and the Apostles.
Researchers aren’t sure who owned the chest, but it was probably a religious person of some importance, and that person apparently believed the cross relic was the real deal.
Karen Bowden, a curator at the Kelso Museum on the campus of the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary told KDKA’s Brenda Waters, “Turkey is a very important site in early Christianity.”

Here we go again, lolz.  "Powerful" relics.  They should not remove that, it was probably left there to ward off some evil or keep the gates of hell closed.
