Did Jesus and the Holy Grail come to England?
An Easter mystery shrouded in two thousand years of history
Greetings Gold and Silver Level Templar Knights. It’s Easter and I’ve been travelling around south-west England investigating old medieval legends that both Jesus Christ and his uncle, Joseph of Arimathea, came to England.
There is an old legend in England that Jesus as a young man lived and worked in the Somerset village of Priddy so I went there to investigate. Watch the film below to discover what I found out.
These stories of Jesus coming to England - and other countries - were told centuries ago by the faithful who wanted to know what happened to Jesus between his childhood and ministry. From the ages of four to thirty, we have no knowledge of where Jesus was or what he was doing. So, a story developed that he came with Joseph of Arimathea, who was a tin and lead merchant, to England. They both prospected for precious metals in the Mendip Hills. Essentially, Jesus became a miner in his teenage years.
After the crucifixion, a forlorn uncle returned, but this time without Jesus. However, he had something in his possession: the Holy Grail. He buried it at Glastonbury - but where? Watch the film and tell me whether you find these tales convincing. They are certainly fascinating.
Great video Tony!
Studying stories of Jesus Christ's possible connection to England and other European countries is fasinating to me. Texts that reflect Jesus' possible historical travels deserve a sober look instead of being outright dismissed; I'm glad you took the time to investigate. It looked to be no fun, cold and wet as it was.
As far as tin & lead mining is concerned, there are Biblical scholars who reported the word 'carpenter' is not the best transliteration for Jesus' and his earthly father Joseph's line of work. It would better be interpreted as 'one who works with his hands', implying any number of forms of manual labor.
It would be very interesting to know if anyone has attempted to scan Glastonbury Tor with ground penatrating radar, and maybe scan the whole of Glastonbury with Lidar. That kind of data would be very interesting, and might make (or break) the case for many myths surrounding the area.
Best wishes,
