Every year, people from over seventy countries on six different continents visit the sacred site of Glastonbury Abbey in Somerset, England. The 2,000 years of Christianity we are celebrating and remembering are forever rooted in the mystical land of Avalon where the story of Glastonbury Abbey began. Many of the modern-day pilgrims, who come to Glastonbury now, at the turn of the 21st Century, take part in the services and rituals, which continue the Abbey’s important tradition as a living church.
