EDITORS COMMENTS
Filming the Holy Thorn at Kingsthorn, Herefordshire: A Tradition Rooted in Legend and Time The enchanting image captures the moment of filming the Holy Thorn at Kingsthorn, Herefordshire, as the buds began to bloom around Midnight, Old Christmas Eve (January 5th), 1950. This ancient tree, steeped in legend and tradition, is one of several holy thorns found in Herefordshire, believed to have originated from ancient cuttings of the Holy Thorn of Glastonbury. The Holy Thorn, a tree or bush with thorns, holds a significant place in local folklore, rooted in the legend of Joseph of Arimathea. According to the tale, Joseph brought the staff of Christ or Jesus to Glastonbury Abbey in England around AD 63, where it took root and grew into the Holy Thorn. Over the centuries, the legend spread, and the tree became a symbol of hope, healing, and renewal. The annual blooming of the Holy Thorn at Kingsthorn is a cherished tradition, attracting visitors from far and wide. The sight of the buds opening at midnight on Old Christmas Eve is a magical moment, filled with anticipation and wonder. The legend of the Holy Thorn continues to captivate the imagination, offering a glimpse into the rich history and folklore of Herefordshire and beyond. This photograph, taken in 1950, is a testament to the enduring interest in the Holy Thorn and the traditions that surround it. The image of the tree, bathed in the soft glow of the moonlight, serves as a reminder of the power of legend and the importance of preserving traditions for future generations.
