The "Crown of Thorns," a revered relic believed to be worn by Jesus Christ, is returning to Notre Dame Cathedral on December 13, 2024. This follows its preservation during the 2019 fire that damaged the cathedral. The return will be marked by a ceremony led by the archbishop of Paris, attended by members of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher. This event highlights a significant step in the cathedral's restoration. Starting January 10, 2025, the Crown of Thorns will be displayed for public veneration every Friday until April 18, with monthly displays afterward.
