Last Winter someone vandalised the Holy Thorn on Wearyall Hill. Luckily they were unable to fell it due to the protective guard around it. Now news has just come in that it has sprouted and local residents are planning a celebration. This is the message I received: “The Wirral thorn is alive, and has sprouted – on the feast of Joseph of Arimathea, no less!There will be a celebration at the tree at 5.30 pm today – the eighth and last day of his feast which ends at sunset.Bring your music, your songs, your staffs and your mead – Christian, Druid and all!” (bloglovin.com)Friday 25 March 2011
