Thesoldiers braided thorns into a crown and placed it on his head.

- Gospel according to Saint John 

You have to see this crown once in your life! Now shining on a canopy of radiant blue and gold glass. You have to feel the silence that surrounds it, the time that stands still despite the crowd that gyrates and begins its turn at the cathedral's bedside. The urge comes to drop a knee in deferential, motionless homage. The desire to kiss the wood that touched the head of the sacrificed Love. And, perhaps, tears will roll down your cheeks from the depths of your heart. This crown says we are loved. Beyond measure.

I had the pleasure of writing an article in MAGNIFICAT before the Holy Crown returned to Notre-Dame of Paris and the new reliquary, if you're interested it's here.

Hand-crafted, four-lobed cross in finely sparkling lapis lazulis mica , gilded crown, 3-micron gold-plated setting , worn here on the short, blue sainte Sabine chain. Created for Notre Dame of Paris.
