The "Crown of thorns" image of Christ: history and description

In the picture of Jesus with a crown of thorns, we observe His unimaginable pain and torment on the Cross. This image came to Orthodox iconography from Catholicism and is distinct from most other portrayals of Christ by its naturalistic style. We can almost sense the pain in His eyes. To mock Him, his tormentors made him wear a thorny crown. Blood is trickling down His face from the wounds inflicted by the sharp thorns. As another sign of mockery, Christ is wearing a royal garment – a scarlet robe appearing as a red shirt across his shoulder. Despite the naturalism, the icon’s message is not the pain and sorrow of Jesus but His victory over death.
