The Accounts of the Contemplatives Of the Crowning with Thorns

St. Bridget of Sweden leaves us no account of the actual crowning with thorns but she tells us that when the crucifixion was completed, the crown of thorns was again placed on Our Lord’s head:

“This done, they replaced on His head the crown of thorns which they had taken off while affixing him to the cross, and fastened it on His most sacred head. It so wounded His venerable head that His eyes filled with the blood that flowed down.” (Rev. Bk. VII).

The Venerable Maria d’Agreda sees the Crowning with Thorns in her vision as follows:

“The executioners brought Our Saviour to the guardhouse, where they again stripped Him of His clothes in a most cruel and insulting manner. They put upon His shoulders a dirty torn purple mantle in order that thus clad as a mock king He may serve as an object of mockery and derision for them. On His sacred head they placed a network woven with thorns to represent a crown. This network was composed of big strong thorns with very sharp points and was pressed down with such force that many of the thorns pierced the skull. The pain from the crowning of thorns was one of the greatest that the Son of God suffered in His Passion.”
