This Christmon is a reminder of Christ's suffering and death for our sins. The Crown of Thorns that pierced His head was a reminder that He was indeed the Lamb of God promised to Abraham thousands of years before.
Then Pilate took Jesus and flogged him. 2 And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and arrayed him in a purple robe. 3 They came up to him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and struck him with their hands.4 Pilate went out again and said to them, “See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that I find no guilt in him.” 5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Behold the man!” 6 When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, “Crucify him, crucify him!” John 19:1-6
And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. 14 So Abraham called the name of that place, “The Lord will provide”; as it is said to this day, “On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided." Genesis 22:13-14
The three nails are a trinitarian reminder, but also reflect the ancient view that Christ's wrists were pieced, and that his feet were pierced through with the same nail.
