Part of the column remained at the Basilica of the Holy Sepulcher and resides in the Franciscan Chapel. Another part of it was given to Giovanni, Cardinal di Colonna the Younger, by the king of Jerusalem during the Fourth Crusade. Colonna took it back with him to Rome, Italy, and placed it in the Basilica di Santa Prassede, his cardinalate church. This part of the Column is housed in a bronze reliquary and can be found at the San Zeno Chapel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFragments of the column of flagellation have been distributed around the world throughout the centuries in ways similar to the True Cross.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere are many relics available for purchase around the world but relics of the Column of Flagellation are extremely rare.
