Summary[edit]

Description The Holy Thorn Reliquary in the British Museum is a stunning example of medieval craftsmanship and religious devotion. Created in the late 14th century, this reliquary is made of gold, enamel, and precious gems, intricately adorned with scenes from the life of Christ and biblical figures. At its center is a thorn purportedly from the Crown of Thorns worn by Jesus during the crucifixion, symbolizing his sacrifice and redemption. The reliquary's elaborate design reflects the reverence and spiritual significance attached to relics in medieval Christianity, serving as a tangible connection to the sacred and a testament to the fervent piety of the era.
