Holy Bridle, Sacred relic in Carpentras Cathedral, France.
The Holy Bridle, created with gold materials, resides within the treasury section of Carpentras Cathedral alongside other religious artifacts from medieval times.
Saint Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine, discovered the original nails from the crucifixion between 326 and 328 AD during her expedition to Jerusalem.
The Holy Bridle represents a connection between religious devotion and medieval craftsmanship, transforming crucifixion nails into ceremonial objects.
Visitors can view the Holy Bridle during regular cathedral opening hours, with guided tours available through the cathedral administration office.
According to tradition, this bridle incorporates metal from the actual nails used during the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
