A thorn claimed to be from the crown Jesus wore during his crucifixion has gone on display in Britain.
The relic has a long history, having been seized from Constantinople in 1200 AD and sold to King Louis IX of France while he was in Venice. Having spent the past 200 years in a school the thorn is now on display at the British Museum as part of a new exhibition, but is it really what it is claimed to be ?
It was plundered in the Fourth Crusade, sold to French royalty and has spent the past 200 years in safekeeping at a British public school. Now a relic claimed to be a thorn from Jesus's crown is to go on display at the British Museum.
