Did you know that in Pag, the Benedictine nuns, in the walls of the monastery, have kept something unique for centuries: the Holy Thorn from the crown of Jesus, which was on Jesus at the time of his death. Other parts of Jesus' crown still exist only in Paris. Therefore, do not miss to see this holiness in our country. There is written evidence for the Holy Thorn that testifies that it was brought to Pag in 1443 by Friar Ivan Tutnić, upon his return from the Holy Land where he received it. Sveti Trn was presented to the sister at her solemn monastic vows in the Benedictine monastery in Pag (Dr. Granić). The mandrel was hermetically sealed in a glass cylinder and was never opened again. It is well preserved. The authenticity of the thorn was confirmed by the papal emissaries saying: "It is from the crown of the Lord!" For centuries, the nuns carefully kept the Holy Thorn in a chest with four keys. Now they want to give it to all of us. Therefore, we were encouraged to invite you to bow before with this relic and find your inner peace.For a sense of tranquility in front of St. Thorn, we suggest you visit outside the tourist season.
