More about this scene
According to legend, Glastonbury Tor is Avalon, an earthly Celtic paradise, rich in fruits and crops. Glastonbury certainly invokes strong feelings of sanctity, and it possesses a powerful aura of mystery. It is said that Joseph of Arimathaea brought to Glastonbury the Holy Grail, the vessel used by Christ at the Last Supper. Geoffrey of Monmouth wrote in the 12th century that King Arthur was taken here after his last battle. The monks of the abbey reputedly found his grave in Glastonbury. The building on top of the tor is St Michael's Church.
