Why did the relic change color?
According to the bishop, this is not the first time that the Holy Thorn became an instrument of a prodigy. Something similar happened when the dates of the celebrations coincided in 2005 and 2016.
Traditionally, March 25 (the Solemnity of the Annunciation) falling on Good Friday “represents Christ as the light coming to illuminate the world, but also the true immolated Lamb redeeming humanity and restoring its fullness freedom.”
However, the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord and Good Friday did not fall on Mar. 25 this year. The thorn suddenly changed color during Holy Week. Why?
…
“I believe that the Lord wanted to tell us that his Passion continues in the pain of many men and women around the world. But also that this Passion, like yours, however painful, is a penultimate word, because the last is always a word of life and hope.
“It is the word of Easter, of the Resurrection, of Christ’s victory over death and of the redemption of all humanity.”
