Jesus Christ Crown of Thorns Silk Screen Icon 4.0 X 4.7 Inch Freestanding – Gold & Engraved Wood

Description

The creation of the icon of Jesus with the crown of thorns is believed to have appeared for the first time after the construction of the Sistine Chapel, while the crown of thorns symbolizes the Passion of Jesus and the last period of His life on earth, which begins with His ceremonial entrance in Jerusalem and ends with his Crucifixion and His Burial on Good Friday. The remains of the Crown of Thorns are kept in the treasury of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. According to the Gospels, a crown of thorns was violently placed on the head of Jesus during the events that led Him to the Calvary and His crucifixion. The crown of thorns was placed on His head in order to inflict pain and also to ridicule Him before the eyes of all those who until that moment praised Him.
