Veneration of the Crown of Thorns, Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris, Paris, France

Ceremony of the Veneration of the Crown of Thorns, or Veneration de la Sainte Couronne d’Epines, on Friday 29th March 2019, by the Ordre des Chevaliers du Saint Sepulcre, or the Order of the Knights of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem, guardians of the relics of Christ's Passion since 1920, in the Chapel of the Order of the Holy Sepulcher, in the Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris, or Notre-Dame cathedral, built 1163-1345 in French Gothic style, on the Ile de la Cite in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, France. The crown of thorns has been held in Paris since 1239 and at Notre-Dame since 1806, along with a piece of the true cross and a nail from the crucifixion. The crown is held in a tubular reliquary of crystal and gold, with a perforated frame depicting a branch of zizyphus or Spina Christi, made by silversmith M Poussielgue-Rusand, 1861-1933, after drawings by J-G Astruc, 1862-1950. The veneration ceremony usually takes place on the first Friday of each month, every Friday of Lent, and on Good Friday. Picture by Manuel Cohen
