A Personal Tribute to the Holy Relic housed in Notre Dame.
Is the Crown of Thorns authentic or a fake? And does it matter?
What do we know of its history? And what does this relic mean to Christians and everyone else worldwide today?
During Easter week, on Monday evening 15th April 2019 the great Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris faced destruction along with its priceless artworks and holy relics. When the fire took hold, thankfully a priest saw fit to act swiftly and save a great many of these treasures including the crown of thorns. However, there are many other places in the world that also claim to house this beloved relic.
This short book is my tribute to the Crown of Thorns, it offers an easily accessible account of what we know about this history and the significance of the relic, which I first viewed in Notre Dame Cathedral some twenty years ago.
I have been an avid visitor to churches around the world for most of my life and am fascinated by relics and the stories around them.
