Krazy Kat,
Historically, a crown was given to one that conquered or was victorious. The Roman crown was the laural wreath. The crown was usually made of gold.
Those that were given the crowns, wore them. They were seen by others and those that wore them were considered accomplishers.
The Crown of Life is given by God to those that overcome and endure temptation. The Crown of Life is Eternal Life which the Lord has promised to those that love Him.
When you receive your Crown, people will see it on you. Not in gold, but in love, peace and joy.
