Mary is holding the Crown of Thorns and the spikes on a pillow because in her deep compassion, she is sharing in the sufferings of her Son on the Cross. The word 'compassion' in its origin means "with passion."

This holy card was made in the late 1800s by Bouasse Lebel of Paris, our all time favorite holy card publisher.
