The Cross of Nails was a result of the World War 2 destruction of Coventry, England. From within the ruins of Coventry Cathedral, a stonemason found three medieval nails that a local priest formed into a cross. It became Coventry's symbol of reconciliation rather than hate for the what the Germans had done. This led to the cathedral's Ministry of Peace and Reconciliation, which now provides spiritual and practical support in areas of conflict throughout the world.
Coventry was a major factory city which made cars, boats, and during the war fitted parts for planes. Germany didn't want the British Army and it's allies advancing so, they began to bomb the factories, and streets surrounding it. One of the worst things that happened was the Cathedral was bombed in. This lost many lives.
Roman Catholic AnswerCoventry Cathedral was taken away from the Church by Henry VIII and used for his brand new Church - the "Church" of England, subsequently it was destroyed by the Germans during the bombing of World War II. A new "Cathedral" has been built by the Anglicans, it is not a Catholic Church.
Coventry was (and still is) a major manufacturing centre in the heart of the English Midlands, producing large quantities of military hardware, e.g. guns of many types, tanks, vehicles and aircraft, and was thus a legitimate target during war. The near-total destruction of its cathedral was a tragedy, though perhaps not deliberately intended.
