Glastonbury Holy Thorn Tree destroyed: locals offer cash reward http://swns.com/glastonbury-holy-thorn-tree-destroyed-locals-offer-cash-reward-101500.html

Devastated locals were preparing to stump up a cash reward today to catch those responsible for destroying one of the most sacred sites in Britain.

Cruel vandals felled the Holy Thorn Tree, which can trace its roots back 2,000 years to the death of Jesus, in Glastonbury, Somerset on Wednesday night (8/12).

The tree is claimed to have sprouted from the staff of Joseph of Arimathea, who prepared the burial tomb for Jesus after lifting him off the cross.

Stunned members of the community were reduced to tears after branches of the shrub were hacked off and dumped around the base of its trunk.

Now it has emerged they are preparing a fighting fund in a bid to name and shame those responsible.

Locals were also placed on high alert over the other three sacred holy thorn trees in the town – taking it in turns to keep watch over the landmarks.

Glastonbury Town Mayor John Coles, 66, said: ”I have just come up from the town and everybody is asking me about it – they are all very sad.

”I have heard an unconfirmed sighting of a group of people dragging something along the hill at about 10.30pm at night, but we are not yet sure who is responsible.

”I have also had locals telling me they are collecting a cash reward to try and find whoever did this.

”I’m sure more people will come forward with more money to try and name and shame them.

”We hope it will loosen tongues in the area.”

Rev David MacGeoch, from St John’s Church in Glastonbury, said his parishioners were keeping an eye on the two Holy Thorn trees in its yard.

He said: ”We have told everyone to be vigilant. Our trees are quite well protected anyway but we are making sure there are people around to keep an eye on them.

”The police have been patrolling around the grounds.too.”

Experts had verified that the felled tree – known as the Crategus Monogyna Bi Flora – originated from the Middle East.

Christian legend dictates that Jesus’ great uncle, Joseph of Arimathea, came to Britain after the crucifixion 2,000 years ago bearing the Holy Grail – the cup used by Christ at the Last Supper.

He visited Glastonbury and thrust his staff into Wearyall Hill, just below the Tor, planting a seed for the original thorn tree.

Oliver Cromwell’s Roundheads felled the tree during the English Civil War, when Parliament waged a vicious battle against the Crown.

However, locals salvaged the roots of the original tree, hiding it in secret locations around Glastonbury.

It was then replanted on the hill in 1951. Other cuttings were also grown and placed around the town – including its famous Glastonbury Abbey.

Avon and Somerset Police confirmed they were still investigating the axed tree today and had made no arrests.


Wearyall Hill to the south west of Glastonbury had the Holy Thorn Tree http://www.londontoolkit.com/whattodo/glastonbury_wearyall_hill.htm

Wearyall Hill is a long narrow ridge to the south west of Glastonbury. On the hill is the Holy Thorn. The original was said to have blossomed from the staff of Joseph of Armithea whom legend says he visited Glastonbury, (see our Glastonbury myths and legends page). He arrived, weary (hence Wearyall Hill), planted his staff in the ground and it immediately blossomed.

The tree was seen as sacred, blossoming at Christmas and Easter, marking the birth and resurrection of Jesus Christ).

Wearyall Hill is just 5/10 minutes walk from the centre of Glastonbury.

Just walk down Magdalene Street south to meet the A361 road and then turn right along the A361 towards Street. Cross to the southern side of the road and when the houses finish, you will see the footpath slanting up the hill.

Note this is not a properly made footpath, it is not suitable for wheelchairs, prams etc.

You can drive up to the top of the hill, but it’s a very narrow road (Hill Head, see map below), with very limited parking. Best to leave your car in the housing estate along Tor View Avenue and walk up Hill Head.

The tree is not protected and Wearyall Hill itself is totally open access.

There are a few seats with great views just a little further along the ridge from the tree, a great place for a picnic.

Each year a sprig of thorn is cut, by the local Anglican vicar and the eldest child from St John's School, and sent to the Queen.

Many other examples of the thorn grow throughout Glastonbury including those in the grounds of Glastonbury Abbey, St Johns Church and Chalice Well. The picture above is of the Thorn in Glastonbury Abbey.

Glastonbury is a long drive from London, by private car it will take around 3 hours. There are day tours from London though that operate several times a week by a couple of small group tour specialists. The large coach tour operators do not come to Glastonbury which only adds to its attraction.


Were anti-Christians behind pilgrimage site attack? 2,000-year-old Holy Thorn Tree of Glastonbury is cut down

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1337159/Glastonburys-2000-year-old-Holy-Thorn-Tree-hacked-vandals.html

Standing proudly on the side of an English hill, its religious roots go back 2,000 years. But a single night of vandalism has left an ancient site of pilgrimage in splinters.

The Holy Thorn Tree of Glastonbury has been chopped down in what is being seen by some as a deliberately anti-Christian act.

A feature of the skyline surrounding the Somerset town, the tree has been visited by thousands retracing the steps said to have been taken by Joseph of Arimathea, who some say was Jesus’ great uncle.

According to legend, Saint Joseph travelled to the spot after Christ was crucified, taking with him the Holy Grail of Arthurian folklore.

He is said to have stuck his wooden staff – which had belonged to Jesus – into the ground on Wearyall Hill before he went to sleep. When he awoke it had sprouted into a thorn tree, which became a natural shrine for Christians across Europe.

To add to its sacred status, the tree ‘miraculously’ flowered twice a year – once at Christmas and once at Easter. It survived for hundreds of years before it was chopped down by puritans in the Civil War, but secret cuttings of the original were taken and planted around the town.

It is from one of the new plants that a replacement tree was planted in the original spot over 50 years ago. Yesterday residents of Glastonbury wept as they surveyed the damage done to the tree on Wednesday night. Katherine

Gorbing, curator of the town’s abbey, said: ‘The mindless vandals who have hacked down this tree have struck at the heart of Christianity.

‘It is the most significant of all the trees planted here and can be linked back to the origins of Christianity. ‘When I arrived at the Abbey this morning you could look over to the hill and see it was not there. ‘It’s a great shock to everyone in Glastonbury – the landscape of the town has changed overnight.’ Every winter a sprig of thorns from one of the town’s trees is sent to the Queen to be used as a table decoration on Christmas

Day. Glastonbury mayor John Coles, 66, took part in the annual cutting ceremony last week using the tree at St John’s Church. Yesterday he recalled watching a tree being planted on Wearyall Hill in 1951 for the Festival of Britain. Although that

specimen died, it was replaced the following year and stood firm until this week. Mr Coles said: ‘It’s the saddest thing I’ve seen in Glastonbury. Some of the main trunk is there but the branches have been sawn away. I am absolutely lost for words.’

Experts had verified that the tree – known as the Crategus Monogyna Bi Flora – originated from the Middle East. Avon and Somerset police have begun an investigation but because there was no tree preservation order on the Holy Thorn, it

means the vandals are unlikely to be prosecuted. The land on which the Holy Thorn stood is owned by Edward James, who was arrested this week in connection with an investigation into failed currency exchange firm Crown Currency Exchange, of which he is a director.

According to the administrator’s report, Crown Currency collapsed owing £16million with little more than £3million in the bank. Last night there was speculation that the attack on the Holy Thorn may have been part of a vendetta against him.

BROUGHT TO LIFE BY JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA, CHOPPED DOWN BY CROMWELL'S ROUNDHEADS,

REBORN THANKS TO LOCALS

38 Holy Thorn Tree: In the Trunk of the Holy Tree sit the Father of Time and the Son of

Time, and with Time, Reason Comes as the Measure of Time John 1:45-49 (King James Version) Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, “We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” And Nathanael said unto him, “Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip saith unto him, “Come and see.” Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, “Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!” Nathanael saith unto him, whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, “Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.” Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

Mark 11:12-23 (King James Version) And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it, “No man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever.” And his disciples heard it. And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; and would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. And he taught, saying unto them, “Is it not written, my house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? But ye have made it a den of thieves.” And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people were astonished at his doctrine. And when even was come, he went out of the city. And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, “Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.” And Jesus answering saith unto them, “Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, ‘Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.’”
