In the cathedral close at the Ma
tional Cathedral of IS. Peter and
Paul is sturdy young tree that has
grown from a slip of the famous
Glastonbury thorn, whose history is
almost as ancient as British Chris
tianity.
The thorn had blossomed once before
and yesterday. marking the culmina tion
OF the cathedral drive, il blossomed
again. This was taken as a good omen
for the success of the whole cathedral
project.
Tradition OF White Thorn.

to quote an old writer, in the deep
of winter to speak to men of Chris
tianity that religion that flourishes
best in persecution and is strength

been preserved in song and story for
nearly 1900 years. Druid minstrels
turned aside from their barbaric re-
ligious chants to sing of the strange
thorn that blossomed when the other

pretty ceremony that was in
keeping with the venerable tradition
Of the thorn took place at the Ma
tionaI Cathedral of SIS. Peter and
Paul in 1919 during the visit OF the
Prince Of Wales to Washington. The
prince visited the cathedral close and
planted there tree. He was given
a silver box containing blossom
from the American Glastonbury
thorn, in accordance with an ancient
custom connected with the original

down at the reformation, but from
the roots the thorn came TO life again,
and so the thorn at Glastonbury
Abbey and the thorn at the cathedral
at Washington today are veritap ple
descendants of the same holy thorn
brought to England. according to
tradition, by Joseph Of Arimathea.

erucified body of the Saviour. into
The story of the thorn began in
the dawn Of Christianity, when the
good Joseph of Arimathea. one Of the
devoted band Of disciples sent forth
to carry the gospel OF Christ TO the
ends Of the earth, set out from Tyre,
followed the trade routes to Mar
seilleS, and thence to ancient Britain.
Many stories are told of how he and
his companions crossed the channel
in a small boat, narrowly escaping
shipwreck, until landed on the shores
Of Albion.
St. Joseph was accompanied by
twelve others, and the company or
zealots pursued their weary way to
the west OF England. to the ancient
Isle Avalon, the birthplace. the court
of last resort and the garden OF that
flower of English chivalry that died
with the passing of Arthur and his
table round of gallant knights.
When Joseph and his companions
footsore, hungry and weary, one day
at twilight came to a hill southwest
of Glastonbury and saw fairyland
valley beneath wrapped around by
the silver ribbon of the Brent river.
they knew their wanderingS were
over and that here they should raise
citadel Of faith for their risen Lord.
Deep into the earth Joseph struck
the staff that had given him such
good serive on the long march as a
thorn tree according to tradition. that

cutting from the very Pedestrian
tree, according to tradition, that
thirty years before had been stripped
of it's branches and pointed leaves to
make the crown of mockery worn by
the Man of Sorrows on the cross.
blossoms at Christmas.
The staff so impulsively planted
took root and blosSomed, strangely
enough, at Christmas as well as in the
summertime, at the same time bear
ing ripe fruit of its kind. This deeply
impressed the heather people of the
region and must have been RESPONSE
BILE for many conversions. 1t was
said that Joseph also brought with
him to Glastonbury the holy cup
known as the holy grail.
The story of the advent of the
Glastonbury thorn into America is
interesting. In 1900 Mr.. Stanley Aus
tin of England. son of the poet
Glastonbury Abbey as il stands in
its picturesque ruins today, presented
to the late Rt. Rev. Henry Yates Sat-
terlee, first bishop OF Washington, a
slip from the celebrated Glastonbury
thorn to be planted in the cathedral
close at Washington.
This was done, and with careful
nurture and the advice OF experts
from the United States Department
of Agriculture the cutting has grown
and is now a thriving young tree 1t

grounds and thousands inspect 1t
