Description

The Flowering Hawthorn by Hugh Ross Williamson This beautifully illustrated book explores the legend of the Thorn of Glastonbury, a famous and mysterious hawthorn tree that has flowered every Christmas for centuries. The story of the Thorn is intertwined with the history of Christianity in Britain, and the author delves into the legends surrounding Joseph of Arimathea, who is said to have brought Christianity to England. The book takes a fascinating journey through the history of Glastonbury Abbey, from its early days as a Christian centre to its later decline and restoration. Along the way, the author draws on a rich tapestry of stories and legends, including those surrounding King Arthur, King Alfred, and Dunstan. This is a captivating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity in Britain. With its unique blend of artistry and historical research, The Flowering Hawthorn is a compelling and thought-provoking book that sheds new light on a fascinating topic.
