I have a crucifix with a skull and cross bones .It also has four nails one on each limb instead of the traditional three nails.
Is there any further explanation?
Simon,
Thanks for the
Memento Mori. That was how old crucifixes were portrayed where I come from. It does not matter if there were three or four nails to crucify Our Lord. What matters is that He had pierced wounds on two hands and two feet.
I have this link of a great clock for you. It's also a
memento mori, but instead has the Gregorian neums for Dies Irae:
DIES IRAE CLOCK
