Hi,

There's another one about Joseph of Arimathea. Unfortunately I can't remeber it exactly, but there is a thorn (?hawthorn) tree growing at Glastonbury Cathedral, where Arthur is thought to be buried. This thorn grew from something Joseph brought with him, this is where I forget what exactly, no doubt someone else knows and will help out. I seem to remember it as being a seedling he planted that had come from the tree which was used to make Christ's crown of thorns. (or possibly the cross)

Fascinating place Glastonbury. Lots of strange vibes about the place.
