The Telegraph (British) website reports today (December 9, 2010) that vandals destroyed a historic tree last night, whose roots can be linked back to the origins of Christianity nearly 2,000 years ago.
The Holy Thorn tree in Wearyall Hill in Glastonbury, Somerset, is regarded as one of Britain's most important symbols of Christendom, and is said to be derived from the original planted by Joseph of Arimathea.
The tree is one of several Holy Thorns located around Glastonbury, but is the most significant because of its placing on the spot where Joseph visited.
