vintage postcards
Notre Dame in Paris houses a piece of Jesus' crown of thorns. The relic is actually thornless. The unstinting Louis IX gave the holy spikes away as gifts.
The Emperor of Constantinople (1239 - 41) sold the crown for an extortionate sum of mullah to Louis during the lucky number 7 crusade. A special mass is held every first Friday of the month to present the relic. You can actually go see it!
