England's Nazareth: the shrine at Walsingham

Thank you for your comment below, on Dec. 9, 2023, in answer to my previous observation and question.

The second sentence in the first paragraph to the second heading, Destruction and rebirth, considers that "In 1538 the royal commissioners arrived to strip the shrine and priories of their possessions. Any golden ecclesiastical vessels were seized to be melted down, books thrown away and worst of all the ancient wooden statue of Mary venerated since 1061 was taken to London to be burned."

Did the royal commissioners defer to some special "anti" ceremony or date or place in doing the burning of the wooden statue of Our Lady Mary other than on site?

The folklore year - May - Beltane. The death of the May fair ?

The second paragraph to your introduction advises us that "The Catholic Church introduced the crowning of Mary, Our Lady to supersede the ancient tradition of May Queen."

Does the crowning Our Lady Mary event have as venue Church grounds?

In the steps of saints and druids:the way of the Celtic church

Online sources defer to ancient written records that describe the Pict people.

Does Pict-donned body-painting and body-tattooing information derive from written sources alone?

Floods in Britain

Thank you for your comment below, on Jan. 13, 2024, in answer to my previous, same-day observation and question.

Your answer that "There have been flood defences put in place, but situations do not look promising?" intrigues me.

Is the situation unpromising because perhaps the defenses launch current technological levels that nevertheless lack effectiveness and that look to future, hopefully imminent, technological advances?

Yes. It happens. Salford Quays, an estate on the terminus of the Manchester Ship Canal, gentrified when high quality building was erected, and this was associated with the British Broadcasting Corporation moved from London to Salford, taking many professionals with it.

We like apples, spiced or unspiced, often cooked with cinnamon.

Gardening in the Pandemic

Thank you for your comment below, on Nov. 13, 2020, in answer to my previous, previous-day observation and question on Nov. 12, 2020.

Salad seeds as seeds for salads appeal to me. Pumpkin and sunflower seeds are perhaps popularest salad seeds among Unitedstatesians.

What might the popularest salad seeds be on the pond east side?

Some Unitedstatesians appreciate apples spiced -- especially in cider, jam, jelly, pastry, sauce, tea -- in everything, fresh or prepared.

Do British Isles-ers like their apples spiced?

It's sad that real estate realizable for private use or for public use as an educational, elucidating cultural and historic tour is not a likely candidate because of biogeographical contexts.

Might it be possible for the "large council estate with a rough reputation" to gentrify?

Apocalypse Soon?

Good question. The two types of writing hardly ever were contemporary. Butnthe early Christian community used apocalyptic writing and prophetic speech.
