"And twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" -Matthew 27:29
"The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and the repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations." -Luke 24:45-46
Pretzel and Chocolate crown of thorns:
For added fun try pouring some hazelnut spread or a quick chocolate ganache over pretzels and serve on a platter.
