File under: not something you see every day

.


Thorny crowns on sale in the Christian Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City. I didn't see anyone actually buying one. Maybe the vendors hoped pilgrims would buy them to save for Easter time?

The crown of thorns is always strange to me, but seeing a whole box of them like this is very strange.

I've never seen one before, though the thorny plant/bush/tree? from which they are made was pointed out to us once when I was such a pilgrim touring your beautiful Israel.

I think this is fascinating!

I love the composition of your photo, and the colors are so rich...

...and here's a thought. Some Christians might make them part of their Christmas decor. It is too easy to celebrate the baby without remembering the rest of the story. It's why some Christians hang a nail on their Christmas tree.

no that is not something you see every day. I love the monochromatic color--it gives life to the variety of textures in the shot.
