Crown of Thorns
The crown of thorns, (perhaps the Euphorbia milii, or Ziziphus spina christi plant) bloomed during early April, the time of Christ torture and crucifixion. Though rarely seen in paintings of Christ with the crown of thorns, it would have had flowers bursting forth from the barbed vine, mockingly adding insult to injury to this ironic crown for the King of the Jews.
Sponge
The sponge impaled on a hyssop branch was held to Christ’s lips after He exclaimed, “I thirst.”
A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished,” and He bowed His head and gave up His spirit. (Jn 19:28-30)
This sponge is described by archeologists as a device comparable to our toilet paper. Simply stated Roman soldiers would clean themselves of their excrement by dipping a sponge pierced on a branch into a trough of running water. Does this Roman cruelty speak prophetically of Christ’s crucifixion identifying Him as in/unclean/ the ‘refuse’ of the world?

Roman Suit of Armor
The suit of armor would have been worn by the Roman soldiers who tortured and executed Christ. The armor was later adopted symbolically by Paul (Eph 6:10-18) who was handcuffed to a Roman guard while in prison as an example of our need to wear our spiritual armor.
The Nails
The nails you see on display are typical of the time of Christ. One of the nails is dated to the time of the Roman Empire. You will also see a replica Roman spearhead of the type that likely pierced Jesus side causing blood and water to flow (Jn 19.34), assuring that He was indeed dead before taking Him off of the cross.
The Spear
The photograph you see of the Roman spearhead is likely the design of the spear point that pierced Jesus' side. This caused the blood and water to flow (John 19.34), assuring that He was indeed dead before taking Him off of the cross.
Widow's Mites
The Widow’s mites or Pontius Pilate Jewish lepta struck during the reign of Tiberius Caesar in Israel in the year AD 29 are reportedly visible on the eyes of Jesus in the image of the shroud of Turin.
A collection of ancient Jewish Widow’s Mite coins, some from the time of Herod Agrippa are available for your viewing. Jesus alludes to the widow’s mite when observing a woman place two “pennies” into the temple treasury. (Lk 21:1-4)

Roman Flagram.
Roman Flagram - This brutal tool was used for interrogation and torture.
Also known as the “cat of nine tails,” these whips were embedded with sharp pieces of metal; bone and glass. A skilled torturer would be able to rip skin and muscle from the body while leaving organs partially exposed. The victim often died from the scourging. Prior to being flogged, He endured a sleepless night of crushing stress. This caused capillaries in his forehead to burst producing a mixture of sweat and blood—a medical phenomenon known as ‘hematohidrosis’.
The tradition was for two Roman soldiers to administer 39 lashes; one soldier standing to His left, and one to His right. With Christ’s body in shock due to the traumatic beating and blood loss, Simon of Cyrene was forced to carry His cross to Golgotha, 'the place of the skull'. (Luke 23:26-31)

Mary's Scarf
This scarf worn by our model for "The Mary and Gabriel" video is on display as a reminder that Christ is our covering. He is our spiritual husband and we are His Bride. Everything we have need of, we can trust Him to supply. He is our shepherd and we are His sheep.
Shroud of Turin
The shroud consists of a herringbone weave. On it is a visible negative image of a man who has wounds that match the description of Jesus upon His death.
Many believe the fabric is the burial shroud of Jesus. There has been dispute of its authenticity. Most recently, procedures have dated the cloth to the time and location of Christ's death.
Regardless of its authenticity, the shroud is an astonishingly clear example of the wounds Christ endured in His passion and crucifixion.
