"Pensa-se que a abadia de Glastonbury, em Inglaterra, tenha sido o primeiro templo cristão erigido à superfície terrestre".
- Austin Cline
Uma maneira curiosa de ver as coisas, diria eu.
(PS:
On 25 May 1186, Glastonbury abbey and the wattle church were burnt down. Under the patronage of the king, the abbot launched a national appeal for funds to rebuild the abbey. In two years, enough money had been raised to build the Lady Chapel on the site of the wattle church. The trouble was that the funds began drying up, with the abbey church barely begun. The monks of Glastonbury came up with the scam of linking the riotously popular Arthur with the abbey. In 1191 AD, they declared they had found the grave of king Arthur and Queen Guinevere. They knew exactly who they were because a crude lead cross was also allegedly found inscribed:
"Here lies buried the renowned king Arthur with Guinevere his second wife, in the Isles of Avalon."
Adoro. Está visto que terei de voltar a ler as Brumas de Avalon. Daqui.)
