Description
The Flowering Hawthorn by Hugh Ross Williamson is an exquisitely decorated essay that blends legend and history to explore the famous Thorn of Glastonbury. This unique work delves into the legends surrounding Joseph of Arimathea, including the possibility that Jesus Christ may have come to England with him. Williamson's artistry brings to life the story of Joseph's sojourn at Glastonbury, where he built the first Christian church in Britain. The book also examines how Glastonbury became a pre-eminent Christian centre, attracting notable figures such as King Arthur and King Alfred. Despite facing periods of pillage and desecration, the Abbey's fame spread throughout the world. This new edition of Williamson's work offers a fascinating exploration of the intersection of history and legend, shedding light on one of Britain's most enduring mysteries.
