  • The crown material of Jesus Christ was not made by thorns from sea reeds



    Within the Passion of Christ, Pacheco analyses the representation of the crowning of Jesus Christ. Following his study about the crown material, the author states that it was not made by thorns from sea reeds, as were made by artists in that time (not following appropriately the elements of that context).
