FOLKLORE
Hawthorn is a thorny tree that thrives
in hedgerows and fields in the temperate regions
of Europe and the British Isles.
Its name originates from the Greek word kratos meaning
strength and refers to the nature of the wood.
Other names include white thorn and hogberry.
It blooms in May producing luscious red fruits and hence
receives one of its most popular names, May-blossom.
Hawthorn was regarded as a valuable heart remedy
as far back as the Middle Ages.
Hawthorn was considered sacred in early
times and believed to furnish the Crown of Thorns.

Legend has it that between AD 30-63
Joseph of Aramathea came to England and planted
his hawthorn staff in Glastonbury soil.
This became known as The Glastonbury Thorn
and grew and blossomed at Christmas and Easter
as if in celebration of the Christian Year.

Celts used Hawthorn in May celebrations
using it to dress maypoles and symbolic effigies,
and associated it with fertility.
