Archaeologists claim to have found relic of cross of Jesus

Archaeologists working at the site of an ancient church in Turkey believe they may have found a relic of the cross of Jesus.

The relic was discovered inside a stone chest that was unearthed from the ruins of Balatlar Church, a seventh-century building in Sinop, Turkey, situated on the shores of the Black Sea.

“We have found a holy thing in a chest. It is a piece of a cross,” lead archaeologist Gülgün Köro’lu told the Hurriyet Daily News.
