Christians all over the world rely on symbolism as they celebrate the wonders of Jesus and the promises that He made. What better serves to remind us of His sacrifice than the Crown of Thorns that He wore upon His head? As the Roman Legionaries mocked Christ at His crucifixion, they placed a crown upon His head, hailing Him as King of the Jews. The crown was not a golden one, encrusted with jewels, which would have been befitting of a king. Instead it was formed from a thick-stemmed and thorny plant which grew in the desert of Jericho by the Dead Sea, just thirty miles from Jerusalem. This crown was encrusted with something far more precious than jewels - it was encrusted with the blood of Jesus, the very blood that He shed to redeem His people. The Euphorbia Milli, or Crown of Thorns, has been known to this region for many years as a beautiful ornamental plant, despite its dense thorns. Display this authentic Crown of Thorns as a symbolic reminder of the suffering that Christ endured. Whether as a centerpiece, wall décor or placed on top of an olive wood cross, the Crown of Thorns creates an ultimate statement of faith!
