A new reliquary with an ultra-futuristic design was unveiled for the Crown of Thorns.

At the reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, a new reliquary was presented to house one of Christianity's most revered relics – the Crown of Thorns, according to MSN.

The new reliquary, designed by French artist Sylvain Dubuisson, features a futuristic design resembling a spacecraft.

Before the fire at Notre-Dame, the Crown of Thorns was kept in a more traditional reliquary crafted in the 19th century by Placide Pousselgue-Rusand. On designated days, the relic was brought out for veneration by the faithful.
