The family-run Holy Land Imports, LLC, offers unique headgear for the dedicated Christian: a lovingly handmade Crown of Thorns just like Jesus wore. For just $39.95 you can own a 12-inch crown with genuine 1- to 2-inch thorns. “This authentic replica of the crown of thorns has been known to the [Holy Land] region for many years,” notes the promotional blurb. It comes in a unique gift box with a certificate of origin. We strenuously recommend against using it to play fetch or Frisbee golf. Nevertheless, if you see yourself auditioning for Mel Gibson’s sequel (The Passion of the Christ 2: To Hell and Back) and need authentic props, Holy Land Imports is at your service. (Remember, however, there was a time Christians got these issued to them for free.)
