Crown of Thorns

For this Lenten season, I purchased a grapevine wreath for making crown of thorns.You will need  a wreath, black dye and  a box of toothpicks ( I used  smooth, round toothpicks), you can either put tooth picks in a black dye overnight ,leave overnight to dry it.






Once they are dry, you can wedge the toothpicks all over the grapevine wreath. Toothpicks can be inserted into different slots in the wreath and tension of the vine hold it in.

The crown of thorns symbolizes Our Lord's many pains and sufferings. I encourage children to do a sacrifice or a prayer and pluck each thorn in some way hope to amend the sins that caused the suffering, Our Precious Lord endured. This year children are doing Crown of Thorns instead of  Jelly beans and I said all the thorns they plucked is putting into their own Jars. By Easter it will be all turned into a Jar of sweets.
