Every Christmas, the phenome
non of the blossoming Holy Thorn
Tree takes place in England and
Washington, D.C.
Faithfully on Dec. 25, a tree
called the Holy Thorn or Glaston
bury Thorn blooms in the ancient
English town of Glastonbury.
Sometime during the same month,
an off - shoot of the same tree
bursts into bloom in Washington’s
Cathedral of the Close.
According to legend, two days
before Christmas 63 years after
the birth of Christ, St. Joseph of
Arimathea neared Glastonbury,
carrying with him the Holy Grail
used at the Last Supper.
While pausing to rest at the
top of a hill overlooking the town,
he drove his staff in the ground,
where it immediately took root.
The next day, Christmas Eve, it
had turned into a thorn tree cov
ered with blossoms.
Greetings
Every good wish for
your Yuletide happiness.
