CELTIC CHURCH

The name originally given to the Church in the British Isles before the mission of St. Augustine of Canterbury (d. 604) from Rome (596-97). It was founded by the second century, mainly among the poor, by missions from Rome and Gaul. By the fourth century, it was sufficiently established to send delegates to the Synod of Arles in 314 and the council of Ariminum in 359. All the evidence indicates that the Celtic Church was little affected by the major heresies of the age. It was in frequent contact with the Church of the Continent and immediately adopted the decisions of Pope Leo I in 455 about the date for Easter. It sent missions to Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. With the coming of Saxons in the fifth century, the Celtic Church was submerged along with the Celtic culture.

There is a myth that Joseph of Arimathea ended up leaving Roman Palestine and ended up in Britain and that he ended up founding the Glastonbury Abbey in Southwest England.

Again, a myth. Unproven and unprovable.

But it makes for interesting reading.

This is an interesting work of fiction, favorably reviewed by Joanna Bogle (of EWTN fame), that extrapolates on this myth. Good reading (keep in mind it is written as a work of fiction, based upon the myth) -- the link behind the picture takes you to Amazon, where you can order it.
