Things in the Bible not really in the Bible ...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

The crown of thorns was arranged neatly in a perfect circle with long, bare thorns everywhere.

Matthew 27:29

Fact of the Day

No!  First, it is nearly impossible to fold a branch in a perfect circle.  Try it.  Second, it was spring, not winter.  There were leaves on the bushes and often flowers. A crown of thorns with just leaves on it would imitate Caesar’s crown.  A crown with leaves and flowers on it would mock Jesus (but also be the last thing of beauty he wore).
