Thorn Tree Of Eor|yYuIe Legend
Provided Scion hat GrowsHere

Of st. Adams School" The mild
fall weather brought out an unusual
number Of perfect blossoms on
Christmas Day, and hundreds of
people drove past and inspected
the almost miraculous sight.
The Rev. James A. Henderson of
this city, formerly chaplain Of St.
Adams School and one of the
schools masters; his wife, who is
Cathedral aide, and Miss Anna
l.. Buchard, also a Cathedral aide
are among the Washingtonians who
have five times seen the Glaston-
bury thorn tree on Mount st.
Alban fulfill tradition by being in
bloom at the Christmas season.
Royalty Greeted by Blooms.
Another legend connected with
the Glastonbury thorn is that in
medieval times whenever royalty
visited Glastonbury the tree shot
forth blooms which were plucked
placed in silver box and presented
to the member of the royal fam
lily making the visit. Mr.. Hender-
son recalls that when the present
Duke of Windsor, then Edward VIII,
Prince of Wales, visited the Wash
ington Cathedral during the month
of November, 1919, the tree had
put forth a number of blooms, which,
according to the ancient custom,
were mt in q 1ift1o Sj1vor Lov opS
presented to Edward by Bishop
Harding. At this time the Prince
planted pink oak near the Peace
Cross, which is marked by q bropze
tablet.
Next, there was a truly royal
according to Mr.. Hender-
son. THE Prince invoked another
ancient custom, namely, that When
ever royalty visits a school, it may
ask for a holiday for the students.

One Of the Oldest Christmas le
gends centers around the Glaston'
bury thorn tree, which tradition.
ally blooms at the season of thu
Christ Childs birth.
Here in the Nations Capital, thi.
age-old story is perpetuated within
the close of the Washington Cath.
edral, where a scion of the ancient
tree at Glastonbury, England, some.
times blossoms at Christmastime
It was reported yesterday to be put.
ting forth its blossoms. again this
year.
Deep within the heart of thu
Cathedral itself is a chapel dedi.
Gated to Joseph of Arimathaea, chie1
figure in the history of the origina
tree venerated in ecclesiastical rec.
ords and legends since the days o1
early chriStendom.
Joseph of Arimathaea, wealthy
young Israelite who feared to con-
fess his belief in the teachings oi
Jesus at the time of the Crucifixion
in his remorse, gave his own sepul.
cher as a place of entombment fol
our Lord. Arrested and imprisoned
by Vespasian after the Ascension
Joseph of Arimathaea, managed tc
maintain within his possession
throughout all his own persecution
the sacred relic of the holy graf
or the chalice of the Last Supper
Migrated to England.
Driven from Jerusalem in SO AID.
with IL devoted followers he made
his way to the lonely isle of Britain
near what Is now Glastonbury, Eng
land. Undeterred by the hostile
BritonS, who later espoused the
teachings of this little band OF
Christians, Joseph of Arimathaea
thrust his stout pilgrims staff fash
ioned from the branch of a haw-
thorn tree into the ground, ano
claimed it as the place where the
missioners would begin their evan
gehzation to extend the Christian
faith.
10 and behold the staff rooted
grew, put forth branches and white
blossoms" declare the earliest writ
ten records of this mission, which
acclaim Joseph of Arimathaea as the
first preacher of Christianity In
Britain.
Subsequently upon this site rose
the Glastonbury Abbey, in whose
grounds history affirms the discov-
cry in 1191 of the remains Of King
Arthur and of his golden-haired
queen, Guinevere.
AS for the Glastonbury thorn tree
so venerated was it during the en-
suing centuries, it was cut down ir
the 18th century by fanatical Pur-
itan as an object Of superstition
But soon a new growth came uI
from the original root, and from II
was transplanted, to the Washington
Cathedral close, the cutting which
is now O flourishing tree directly
in front of the entrance to the st
Adams School for Boys.
True to the tradition for which
there is reasonable evidence from
the first century Of the Christian
era, the original tree blooms oc.
casionally at Christmastime. 81
does it offshoot here. The Christ.
mas season of 1923 was memorable
in this respect" according to Stepher
A. Hurlburt in his Brief History
