The Crown of Thorns

The Crown of Thorns is a symbolic item associated with Jesus Christ’s suffering during his crucifixion. According to Christian tradition, it is a circlet made of thorn branches placed on Jesus' head to mock him as "King of the Jews." Historically, it is believed to be a physical object, possibly constructed from plant thorns like those of the Ziziphus or Christ's thorn jujube, and has been preserved as a sacred relic in the Christian faith. The crown represents pain, sacrifice, and the humility associated with Jesus’ crucifixion.
