The crown often symbolizes the legitimate power of a man, often making him the representative of a superior realm. Placed on the head, the crown dominates the human body, i.e. Matter, and enables man to participate the upper world of heaven.
The circular shape of the crown is a reference to the non-ending circle and its “dented” form is a reminder of the solar rays: kings and emperors are thus the bearers of light in this world.
In the Kabbalah, the Keter crown that is on top of the Sephiroth tree symbolizes En Sof, the Creator, the Infinite Light. In Christianity, the symbol of the crown goes beyond the power of Majesty – it also highlights the superior character of the certain figures such as Mary and martyrs. Indeed in other ancient cultures, such as Ancient India and the China, the crown stands for the transition to a superior level of consciousness.
Now you take the floor: what do you association with the Crown?

a reward that says u’ve done it almost right so far…
For me crown is a symbol of power and legitimacy, authority and wisdom.
6th of January is a Three Kings Day. On that day three prophets (Magi)came to pay homage to Jesus Christ.
They are usually shown crowned and they brought 3 gifts: gold- symbol of Jesus' kingship, frankincense- his priestly power and myrrh- prophecy of the Passion.
For that I associate crown with the power of kings and obedience of the prophets.
yes , a symbol of service Shaun William hayes
The crown carries in her a big responsibility for the one who has it , because he / she knows that the consequences of every word and Every act must be measured
But he / she is confident because he / she knows who gave him(her) this crown
la couronne porte en elle une grande responsabilité pour celui qui l’a porte , car il /elle sait que les conséquences de chaque parole et de Chaque acte doivent être mesurés
mais il/elle est confiant car il/elle sait qui lui a donné cette couronne

The crown is a mark of sovereignty and regal position. This is obvious. If we look at it more symbolically then certain other interpretations come forward. The crown ‘frames’ the crown chakra, focussing the energy. The crown is a feminine symbol, polarising with the male king energy. The crown is also a symbol of the grail, receiving the energy from above and channelling it down. It is ostentacious and the largest piece of jewellery one can wear. It could be said to be a ring, a marriage bond, between God and the king, a symbol of service.
I found a beautiful poetry about the birth of Sicily…
“Un ghiornu n’ca Diu Patri era cuntenti e camminava n’cielu cu li Santi, a lu munnu pinsau fari un prisenti e di la curuna si scippau un diamanti, lu ittau in mensu a lu mari, lu nutricau cu li setti elementi. Sicilia lu chiama la genti ma di l’eternu patri è lu diamanti”
“One day, when God Father was happy and walked in the sky with the Saints, He thought to give a present to world and from the CROWN came off a diamond, He threw it in the middle of the sea, He fed it with the seven elements. People call it Sicily but it is the diamond of the Eternal Father”
Love
WE ARE ALL KINGS. OUR CROWN WILL BRIGHT AS LONG AS WE ARE ABLE TO BRIGHTEN OUR LIVES. WE CAN OPEN UP OUR MINDS AND REALIZE THAT WE WERE BORN TO CREATE OUR KINGDOM. EVERY MEN HAVE THEIR OWN TREASURE.SOME OF US WASTE THE TIME AND NEVER FIND IT. OF COURSE THE CROWN SYMBOLIZES THE POWER AND THE LIGHT UPON THE HEADS OF THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIGHT FOR THE PEACE AND HAPPINESS AROUND THE WORLD.BUT WE HAVE TO FIGHT .TO BE A WARRIOR BEFORE BECOMING A KING.
Hello everyone
A crown reminds me of stories about kings, queens and knights. :) And the words ‘great responsibility’ always springs to mind. A crown doesn’t make a man a good king. A king has to give his best every day to earn it, really deserve to wear that crown and all that it represents.
