Crown relic saved from Notre Dame presented again to public
A venerated relic saved from flames during the April fire at Notre Dame Cathedral has been presented to the public in Paris.
The Crown of Thorns is purported to be the one placed on the head of Jesus at his crucifixion. King Louis IX brought it to Paris in the 13th century.
Firefighters rescued the relic and other treasures as Notre Dame’s spire collapsed and roof burned away.
It’s been kept in a safe at the Louvre museum and was removed for only the second time for a veneration ceremony at St Germain l’Auxerrois church on Friday.
The crown is made of rushes wrapped into a wreath and tied with gold filament. Parts of it are held in places besides the Louvre.

Note: Crown of thorns
According to three of the Gospels, a woven crown of thorns was placed on the head of Jesus during the events leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus. It was one of the instruments of the Passion, employed by Jesus' captors both to cause him pain and to mock his claim of authority.

【利拉德：希望自己在篮球和音乐两个领域都能够得到认可 】
利拉德在近日参加一档电台节目时表示，希望自己在篮球和音乐两个领域都能够得到认可。
“音乐和篮球大不相同，作为一名NBA球员，为了赢得尊重你必须拼命战斗，而作为一位音乐人，如果你真的想要取得一些成就，就必须得到粉丝们的支持。一些NBA球迷会想，‘好吧，我们要支持他一下，因为他是Dame（利拉德），’你会得到这样的支持，但这种短暂的兴趣不会持续很久。”
“他们或许根本不在乎，可能就看一眼，或者听个开头，这种关注度杯水车薪。真正的音乐粉丝，他们只会关注音乐本身，赢得他们的认可是最困难的部分。这就是我需要面对的挑战，因为我置身于音乐产业之外。”利拉德说道。
利拉德表示他会像对待篮球那样致力于自己的音乐生涯，除了帮助波特兰赢得NBA总冠军之外，他还希望有朝一日能够赢得音乐奖项。#利拉德[超话]# #NBA长草期大赛#
