On the first Friday of every month at the Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral, a pageant of priests walk down the central aisle. Leading the procession is an ecclesiastic holding a golden cushion on which rests a crystal reliquary containing a crown of thorns. If legend holds true, this relic would have been brought to France in 1239 by Saint Louis, King of France.
