Passionist fathers and brothers...


In the good old days when they used to profess, a crown of thorns was placed atop their head.

    I seem to remember them wearing a large crucifix in their belt when I was a kid in the 60's.

    The Passionists in the Philippines receives a crown of thorns in their profession, and they will wear it again at their death bed.
