Happy Easter!

04/05/2026

Happy Easter to our friends and patrons who celebrate.

The nails for the crucifixion of Jesus were most likely forged by a blacksmith. How heavy his heart and soul must of been.

Some believe the Blacksmith forged a fourth nail that he wouldn’t hand over, as it was meant to strike the heart of Jesus.

Nails are a revered symbol of Jesus’s passion. For those who do not celebrate Easter, the nail also represents the Cosmic Axis, the connection point for the Earth and the Universe.

It’s been a tradition since the Middle Ages for blacksmiths to forge three nails on Good Friday in reverence to the crucifixion. This most likely started in the Middle Ages when blacksmiths would forge nails for building churches. The Good Friday nails are then gifted as a symbol of faith and good luck.

Easter and especially Springtime, is a celebration of rebirth. This Spring season of renewal and growth is full of possibilities for people of ALL faiths and beliefs.
