While the idea that King Arthur was nine feet tall appears to be pure hokum, there is a great deal of circumstantial evidence of what some historians like to call the Glastonbury myths. The one piece of evidence of the seemingly miraculous is the Holy Thorn itself. So, no offense to my Catholic friends but I believe the first Christian denomination was not the Roman Catholic Church. While the Coptic Church claims that it was the first, in fact the Catholic Church itself admitted that the Grail Church, also known as the Celtic Church, the British Church, the Old Catholic Church and others is very likely the first denomination. The Grail Church was the Church of St. Patrick, St. Columba, St. Gildas, St. Brendan and others. This is from “On Grail Christianity” “Perhaps the greatest mystery involved in an examination of the life of Christ is what to make of the so-called “missing years.” Some of those, who have been willing to publish their speculations, suggest that during those missing years Jesus traveled to far reaches of the ancient world, including Roman-era England, India and perhaps other locales. For those that argue that there is no Biblical proof that other than the early exile of the Holy Family in Egypt, Christ was not always present in the Holy Land. It does seem likely, however, that the totality of the life of Christ could not be fully contained within the Gospels. Indeed in John 21:25, John clearly admits he has just scratched the surface of what Christ accomplished on earth: “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that could be written.” There is less than complete agreement on all tenets of Grail Christianity among Grail Christians. Still, just about all agree, that Jesus Christ visited the British Isles at least once and possibly twice with his great uncle, Joseph of Arimathea, settling for a time at Glastonbury in the west of England. This belief is also held by Christians far from the British Isles and not adhering to Grail Christianity such as the Maronite Christians of Lebanon. www.amazon.com/Grail-Christianity-R-Roy-Blake-ebook/dp/B01M0MKHJ5/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1509486623&sr=8-1&keywords=on+grail+christianity
