term "crown of thorns" is transferred anguish and suffering.She recalled that more than two thousand years ago, the Savior of the world Jesus Christ, the Roman soldiers put a wreath on his head.He was the gossip of thorns and causes severe pain.Crown of Thorns in ancient times wore convicted criminals as opposed to the winners, their heads crowned with wreaths of laurel.
crown of thorns from the Gospel stories in a way is a mystery.After the Romans the time of Jesus honored its laws.According to Roman law they were not to make fun of the way a person sentenced to death on the cross.In fact, the soldiers were to refrain from ridicule convicted and his religious beliefs.What's the matter, or whether the Gospel episode an allegory?So you can think of, if not the fact that the crown of thorns actually existed.
managed to get some answers thanks to archaeological finds.The excavations discovered the residence of the procurator of Judea.However, it was found and the garrison prison, as well as the so-called the Pavement - a stone platform on which Jesus Christ was at the trial held by Pilate.Stone slabs Pavement have kept for yourself some of the images, which can be seen even today.
is a symbol that supposedly served as a Roman soldier dice.The man who has won in competitions, deserved a kind of "honor."He's got the right to put on the likeness of the royal purple, and his head put on a toy crown and awarded "scepter" (wooden stick).Also, the "King of Games" bother to honor.In particular, they bowed before him, and even meet any of its whims.
Soldiers knew that Jesus was accused that he had applied for the royal throne of Judah.It is possible that by following the order of the procurator against whipping a prisoner, the soldiers decided to play a cruel way to convict.In the Gospels it is written that for such "representations" warriors gathered "the whole regiment."Suffering Saviour clothed in scarlet, his head Roman soldiers hoisted the crown of thorns, and given into the hands of the stick.As you know, then they began to provide him with imaginary honors and fell on his knees before him, exclaiming: "Hail, King of the Jews!".
can also assume (from the point of view of history), why Pontius Pilate made a similar appeal to the already convicted Savior.After first procurator of Judea fluctuated in relation to Christ and even had the intention to release him.But angry mob raised a lot of noise.They were heard cries against Pilate, hinting at his disloyalty to Caesar.It is not hard to guess that the Procurator, fearing the wrath of the ruler of the Roman Empire, decided to appease the crowd and allowed the soldiers to unnecessary mockery of Christ.
What events described can be interpreted in the light of Scripture - the Bible?In Isaiah said that the Savior would take upon himself the sins of all people.In fact sacrificed Christ frees believers from the sinful nature, which they have inherited from Adam.
But if you go back to biblical events described in the Book of Genesis, it is possible to know that when the earth was cursed, God told Adam that she would not give a person the strength and begin to produce thorns.After the books of almost all of the biblical prophets, the Psalms of David and the other sections of the Bible can be read, that one day will be the Savior of the World, which frees humanity from punishment and curses, diseases and slavery of sin.
says in chapter 53 Isaiah, that the sins of all those who believe the Lord has laid on Christ, as well as sickness and disease.Since the Almighty Creator is just and executes divine purpose until the end, then on the cross not only accomplished the redemption of man.At the head of the Son of God was planted a crown of thorns.Thus, the curse has been redeemed and the earth.
At present, the relic is in the sacristy of the Cathedral of Notre Dame is one of the major shrines of France.
