This is the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris and the Archdiocese of Paris's own custodial record for the Crown of Thorns and the cathedral treasury, covering the relic's custody, its veneration schedule and its relocation following the 2019 fire and the cathedral's 2024 reopening. As the custodian's own standing record it is authoritative for those custody and veneration facts. Its limit is that it is the holding institution's own devotional account, not an independent scholarly study, so a claim that the circlet is physically the crown of the Passion, rather than a venerated relic of disputed first-century origin, needs a source outside the cathedral's own custodial page.

NotesNotre-Dame de Paris and the Archdiocese of Paris's own custodial record for the Crown of Thorns and the cathedral treasury; a standing institutional record, not a scholarly publication, good for provenance and custody facts, not for the relic's own history or authenticity.
