Of the Crown of Thorns of Our Lord

TheCrown ofThornswas originally found in the Holy Sepulchre and was venerated there before it was transferred toanother Church on Mount Zionin the 6th century. Paulinus of Nola saw it at the end of the 4th century, as did Gregory of Tours in the 6th cent. In ca. 1063, to safeguard it from the Muslim violence, it was transferred to Constantinople, the Christian capital of the East. In 1238, the Latin Emperor Baldwin II sold it to king Louis IX of France (St. Louis), who built the magnificent Sainte Chapelle in Paris to house it. Before, after he had received it at the French border, he carried it in a solemn procession to his capital, walking barefoot the entire way. Since most thorns had felt off in the meantime, he donated them to the most important Cathedrals of his country and the Christian world. Today, about 190 relics of the Crown of Thorns are venerated all over Europe, two of them in Rome, in the Basilica di S. Croce. Since most of these relics are just fragments of a thorn, the actual number can be reduced to ca. 70, what is very well possible, since the Crown of Thorns was a cap, as you can see on the Turin Shroud, not a ring, as depicted in Western iconography.

Tradition says that while he was away from home, he and Anne each received a message from an angel that she was pregnant. Believed to have given Mary to the service of the Temple when the girl was three years old.

Saint Anne

Memorial

  • 26 July

Profile

Mother of Our Lady. Grandmother of Jesus Christ. Wife of Saint Joachim. Probably well off. Tradition says that Anne was quite elderly when Mary was born, and that she was their only child. The belief that Anne remained a virgin in the conception and birth of Mary was condemned by the Vatican in 1677. Believed to have given Mary to the service of the Temple when the girl was three years old. Devotion to her has been popular in the East from the very early days of the Church; widespread devotion in the West began in the 16th century, but many shrines have developed since.
