The Glastonbury Thorn
Each Christmas, the
small tree or shrub we
know as the glastonbury
thorn produces small clus
ters of white flowers. Ex
cept for the spring season.
Christmastime is the only
time of year that these
flowers bloom.
There is an ancient leg
end to explain this interest
ing circumstance. The leg
end says that when Joseph
of Arimathea ended a long
pilgrimage in England, he
drove his walking stick into
the soil of Glastonbury.
The staff budded and bore
lovely white blossoms, and
thereafter bloomed again
each year at Christmas.
Because of this helief.
the thorns came to he re
garded as holy and pil
grimages were made at
Christmastime in olden
days to touch the thorns,
as it was believed that they
could heal the mind and
body and purify evil.
Although modern-day
celebrants no longer at
tribute any special powers
to this unusual hawthorn,
the glastonbury thorn still
holds appeal for those who
know its legend at Christ
mastime.
