- Domenikos Theotokopoulos, 1580]]In Christianity, the Crown of Thorns, one
of the instruments of the Passion, was the woven chaplet of thorn branches
worn by Jesus before his crucifixion. It is mentioned in the Gospels of
Matthew (27:29), Mark (15:17), and John (19:2, 5) and is often alluded to
by the early Christian Fathers, such as Clement of Alexandria, Origen, and
others.
John the Evangelist describes it thus (KJV, ch. 19):
"Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. And the soldiers
plaited a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a
purple robe, And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with
their hands. Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them,
Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in
him. Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple
robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!"
