Crown of Thorns is all about Christian hand made products from the Holy Land. We are specialized in original Crown of Thorns, made from bushes on the outskirts of Jerusalem that are growing there for already more than 2000 years. The monks of St. Catherine Monastery in Sinai have identified a thorn bush growing east of the large monastery wall as the original Crown of Thorns which tormenters put on Jesus Head as a symbol of humiliation. Our Crown of Thorn products come with a Certificate of Origin in several languages. They are endorsed and stamped by the Superior of the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.

His Holiness Pope John Paul II was excited by the gift from the Holy Land. His interest and that of others can be clearly seen on the pictures. He praised especially the uniqueness and the usage of the original crown of thorns bushes. Unfortunately there was not more time available to further discuss the Crown of Thorns and its meaning for Christianity. We are very happy that it was possible to present our Crown of Thorns to His Holiness Pope John Paul II and feel assured by his positive response. Click picture for story and larger pictures.
