Thank you We sneak Symbol's crowns I'll ashman start with

00:11

julian of norwich Obviously jesus His crown of thorns is

00:14

our first great So even just the image of the

00:16

crown of thorns keys us into the tension with the

00:20

crown imagery which is that not everyone who actually is

00:23

divine has a physical crown right often with people who

00:25

are divine have the most punishment So julian of norwich

00:29

is someone who is simon seeing is he seeing jesus

00:31

has crowned and seeing the kind of lack of a

00:34

physical kingly crown is really important And this is related

00:37

Orinoco right Because orinoco is divest of his crown He

00:41

doesn't have the physical raymond's of a king but there's

00:45

so much about him That is kingly nonetheless Right He's

00:47

described as this like listening Beautiful person He has a

00:50

royal bearing Everything he does is his crown wave have

00:54

women who associate with royalty and that gives them more

00:58

status Like veronica frank again Veronica franco never goes away

01:02

She doesn't Also elizabeth importantly mentions that all of the

01:06

soldiers have crown right This is another moment where the

01:09

king leanness That rule is spread amongst the common people

01:14

So this is a moment also when the crown itself

01:17

is being contested should one person have a crown is

01:20

that a symbol of tyranny or is that a symbol

01:23

of righteousness Yeah so kind of giving everyone a crown

01:26

is in between The interesting thing about giving everyone a

01:30

crown is that it enforces a code of conduct That's

01:34

The fascinating thing about it Their actions were never just

01:37

the real anymore Does one need a physical crowd in

01:42

order to be royal Is the crown a symbol of

01:44

tyranny or of righteousness I have three gold crowns from 00:01:51.5 --> [endTime] late dentist
