The Holy Grail Lies Somewhere in Glastonbury. When Joseph of Aramathea and his little band of pilgrims sought asylum from Roman persecution they fled to Glastonbury — and carried with them the most sacred relic in all of Christendom. This tiny, sheltered corner of Britannia — this holy “Isle of Avalon” — was also a place of refuge when King Arthur and his knights fought off the invading barbarian hoard. It became the King’s final resting place.Centuries later, the discovery of Arthur’s bones in Glastonbury sparked a great flowering of the faith and yet more magnificent building — after a devastating fire nearly obliterated the work and worship of centuries.And then, after the last abbot of Glastonbury was dragged to his death atop Glastonbury Tor, the Abbey’s splendid arches were left to crumble. And yet they still stand today — as beacons of hope for the future. Two millennia of history and legend intertwine around Glastonbury’s broken arches. And though it all — through ages ancient and modern — the faithful have sought to answer the same question that Arthur asked. Where is the Holy Grail?
