Morgana West talks about the new Glastonbury Thorn World Tree planting
Morgana West talks about the new Glastonbury Thorn World Tree, planted in Glastonbury on 26th January 2012. (filmed by Tatomir Ion-Marius)
The tree has been grown from the severed branches of the iconic thorn that once stood on Wearyall Hill. The thorn was said to have sprung from the staff of Joseph of Arimathea, uncle of Jesus, more than 2000 years ago when he came to Britain following the crucifixion. Joseph's story is now the subject of a major Hollywood film - Glastonbury: Isle of Light.
In 2010, shock waves rippled around the world when the Glastonbury community woke to find the tree had been brutally vandalised and reduced to a stump in the early hours of a December morning. All was not lost though and Morgana West, Manager of the Pilgrim Reception Centre in Glastonbury arranged with Tony Kirkham, Head of the Arboretum at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew to collect cuttings. These were grafted onto common hawthorn rootstock and nurtured under Kew's excellent resources so that new trees could be provided for the Glastonbury community and continue the lineage of the Wearyall Holy Thorn.
Glastonbury Candle Walk of Unity
April 21st 2012.
The many different faiths of Glastonbury (Somerset, England) came together in a walk & celebration of unity, carrying the Glastonbury candle.
This video shows some parts of that walk, which started quite early in the morning at the Pilgrim reception centre.
Places visited include The White Spring, Glastonbury Abbey, the Tor, Wearyall hill and the Anglican, St. John the Baptist church.
This video opens in the churchyard of St. John's where members of that Christian community endeavour to circumnavigate the recently added Labyrinth, with the Candle carried on a two-person trestle.
The Candle was then carried along Glastonbury High Street to the United Reformed Church for a pause. After a visit to the Arimathean retreat, the candle then travelled up to the Mound on Windmill Hill via Bovetown, for a short peace celebration, with Denise Michell and Druid Dreow Bennett, (irritating wind noise here and some off-screen noise too))
In this video, I then include a short visit to two private houses in Bushy Coombe Gardens.
I ceased shooting there and continued at the later celebration in the Chalice Well gardens for the finish.
Note: this is not a perfect video: my shooting position, particularly in the Chalice Well Gardens was not ideal. All ideal positions seem to have been taken by other videographers.
I am an amateur videographer, and have no aspirations to be otherwise.
Thankyou to all shown in this video; annotations & more acknowledgements shall follow soon
Glastonbury: World Tree & Peace Pole event.
Glastonbury Somerset, England.
Saturday January 26 2013.
In Magdalene street, a new Holy Thorn peace tree was planted, with the World Peace Pole situated next to it. I hope they work.
I was elsewhere in town at the time of planting, but include shots of them at the start of this video.
In this much edited video, one can listen to the Avalonian Free State Choir, and although there was much more of their performance than seen here, I have included the famous Jerusalem words by William Blake, and music by Charles Hubert Parry. The choir's own arrangement is heard here.
Morgana West then tells us of the new film The Glastonbury Experience for which more finance is needed for its production
. A trailer of the film was to be seen at this event in the Town hall.
The excellent Tim Hall and The Archetypes gives us a pleasant folky, tuneful couple of songs (again, they sung much more than seen here)
I enjoyed the afternoon, which is so typical of Glastonbury; probably the friendliest place on planet Earth.
A big THANKYOU to all shown and to the Glastonbury Pilgrim Reception Centre, for organising this event.
**NB: This video was shot entirely on a hand-held camcorder, and its codec is WMV., 4:3 ratio, for small upload size. This may mean that its definition is not too hot, but hopefully still enjoyable!

SUMMARY
=======
Western Rite Orthodoxy or Western Orthodoxy or Orthodox Western Rite are terms used to describe congregations that are within Churches of Orthodox tradition but which use liturgies of Western or Latin origin rather than adopting Eastern liturgies such as the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom. While there are some ancient examples of Western Rite communities in areas predominantly using the Byzantine Rite before the Great Schism was fully consolidated (the Monastery of Saint Mary of the Latins, often referred to as Amalfi, is a common example), the history of the movement is often considered to begin in the nineteenth century with the life and work of Julian Joseph Overbeck.
Western Rite parishes and monasteries exist within certain jurisdictions of the canonical Eastern Orthodox Church, predominantly within the Russian and Antiochian jurisdictions in North America, with the latter having created an Antiochian Western Rite Vicariate (AWRV).
In addition, the Western Rite is practiced within religious communities outside the main Eastern Orthodox Church. The Communion of Western Orthodox Churches and the Orthodox Church of France are entirely Western Rite. Furthermore, there is a small number of Western Rite communities among the Old Calendarists, such as the former Western Rite Exarchate of the Holy Synod of Milan and the Autonomous Orthodox Metropolia of North and South America and the British Isles. In the past, there have also been Western Rite communities within Oriental Orthodoxy.
Western Rite parishes are found almost exclusively in countries with large Roman Catholic or Protestant (particularly Anglican) populations. There are also numerous devotional societies and publishing ventures related to the Western Rite. Despite having a place within many Eastern Orthodox jurisdictions, the Western Rite remains a contentious issue for some.
GREAT EXPECTATIONS [1867 Edition] by Charles Dickens [Stage 1]
This classic tale tells of an orphan, Pip, who through a series of strange circumstances first finds a trade as a blacksmith's apprentice and then learns that he has great expectations of a future inheritance from an anonymous benefactor. He soon learns to live the profligate life of a gentleman as he gradually sheds his associations with the gentle souls of his past, Joe (the blacksmith) and Biddy (a level-headed young lady). He throws his money at improving the prospects of his roommate and friend Herbert and his heart at an ice princess whose heart will never respond. But then an escaped convict from his distant past comes calling, and all Pip's hopes dissolve.

SUMMARY
=======
The Dissolution of the Monasteries, sometimes referred to as the Suppression of the Monasteries, was the set of administrative and legal processes between 1536 and 1541 by which Henry VIII disbanded monasteries, priories, convents and friaries in England and Wales and Ireland, appropriated their income, disposed of their assets, and provided for their former personnel and functions. Although the policy was originally envisaged as increasing the regular income of the Crown, much former monastic property was sold off to fund Henry's military campaigns in the 1540s. He was given the authority to do this in England and Wales by the Act of Supremacy, passed by Parliament in 1534, which made him Supreme Head of the Church in England, thus separating England from Papal authority, and by the First Suppression Act (1536) and the Second Suppression Act (1539).
Professor George W. Bernard argues:
The dissolution of the monasteries in the late 1530s was one of the most revolutionary events in English history. There were nearly 900 religious houses in England, around 260 for monks, 300 for regular canons, 142 nunneries and 183 friaries; some 12,000 people in total, 4,000 monks, 3,000 canons, 3,000 friars and 2,000 nuns. If the adult male population was 500,000, that meant that one adult man in fifty was in religious orders.

SUMMARY
=======
Ancient Greek religion encompasses the collection of beliefs, rituals, and mythology originating in ancient Greece in the form of both popular public religion and cult practices. These groups varied enough for it to be possible to speak of Greek religions or cults in the plural, though most of them shared similarities.
Most ancient Greeks recognized the twelve major Olympian gods and goddesses: (Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, Ares, Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis, Hephaestus, Hermes, and either Hestia or Dionysus), although philosophies such as Stoicism and some forms of Platonism used language that seems to assume a single transcendent deity. The worship of these deities, and several others, was found across the Greek world, though they often have different epithets that distinguished aspects of the deity, and often reflect the absorption of other local deities into the pan-Hellenic scheme.
The religious practices of the Greeks extended beyond mainland Greece, to the islands and coasts of Ionia in Asia Minor, to Magna Graecia (Sicily and southern Italy), and to scattered Greek colonies in the Western Mediterranean, such as Massalia (Marseille). Early Italian religions such as the Etruscan were influenced by Greek religion in forming much of the ancient Roman religion.
