Today the Office of the Passion is the Flagellation of Our Lord
Note: according to the Catholic Encyclopedia it should be the Crown of Thorns; however my Passionist supplement to the Breviary published in the US in 1941 thinks otherwise. Further research required.

The Column of the Flagellation of Christ is a famous relic; half of it is in the Franciscan Chapel inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem, the other half was brought to Rome in 1222 by Cardinal Giovanni Colonna and placed in his titular church, San Prassede (Saint Praxedes), where it still remains.
