In the tradition of the Catholic Church, the Sacred Heart of Jesus is the devotion to Christ's physical heart as the representation of His divine love and compassion for humanity.  The Sacred Heart is often depicted as a flaming heart shining with light, pierced with wounds and surmounted by a crown of thorns.  The wounds and thorns symbolize Christ's Passion; the fire represents the transformative power of His divine love.  The Feast of the Sacred Heart is celebrated nineteen days after Pentecost.
