This
is the thorn tree of Joseph. It was supposedly planted by him and blooms
twice a year, Christmas and Easter respectively.
So
I, of course, had to try and climb it. .
We
then headed over to the Glastonbury Abbey, or rather, the site
of the abbey's ruins. This is where Arthur was supposedly buried..
The
ruins were pretty cool. This place was once enormous.
This
was once the abbey's ceiling.
Here
it is, the site of King Arthur's grave. Gee, you'd think there'd be a
bit
more security. At least it was well marked.
.
A
shot from where the altar was to the front of the abbey.
A
good example of how far the ground level has dropped over the
centuries.

Faith
inside a ruinous trancept.
