The soldiers wove a crown of thorns and placed it on his head.

- The Gospel According to Saint John

You have to see this crown, at least once in your life! Now it shines atop a radiant blue-and-gold glass canopy. You have to feel the silence that surrounds it, the way time stands still despite the swirling crowd as it begins its turn at the top of the cathedral. You feel the urge to kneel in reverent, motionless homage. You feel the urge to kiss the wood that touched the head of the sacrificed Love. And, perhaps, tears, from the depths of your heart, will stream down your cheeks. This crown tells us that we are loved. Beyond measure.

I had the pleasure of writing an article for MAGNIFICAT before the Holy Crown was returned to Notre-Dame de Paris and the new reliquary was unveiled. If you’re interested, you can find it here.

Handcrafted jewelry: a four-lobed cross in finely shimmering lapis lazuli mica, with a gold crown and a 3-micron gold-plated setting, worn here on the short blue chain of Santa Sabina. A design inspired by Notre-Dame de Paris.
