The Holy Crown of Thorns in English - The Reference Work

"The Holy Crown of Thorns", worn by Jesus Christ during his Passion, was initially preserved in Jerusalem and later in Constantinople. In 1239, Saint Louis acquired the Crown and had the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris built to house it, where it remained until the Revolution.

In 1806, the Crown was moved to Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, where it is still kept today in a crystal reliquary.

Throughout the pages of this unpublished reference work, you will discover the nature and extraordinary history of this humble crown of intertwined reeds that has spanned the centuries.

The Holy Crown of Thorns is not merely an historical object, but rather a sign that invites countless believers to venerate it.
