st. Joseph Of Arimathea. having come
as apostle to Britain. and. landing at
Glastonbury. had stuck his stan OF dry
hawthorn into the soil. commanding II
to put forth leaves and blossoms. This
the stan straightway did. and thereby
was the king converted to the Chris

life from death.

about the middle OF the 18th century
II was recorded In the Gentleman's
Magazine how the famous holy thorn

In those days the anniversary OF the

revelry. for giving and receiving; II
had been also season for holy OBJ
servances. for they refused TO go 10

holy thorn not being then in blossom.
So serious became the trouble that the
clergy found 1t prudent to announce
that Old Christmas day should also
be- kept sacred as before. Only an
