The Lost Gospel of Avalon

5/5 ( ratings)

Medieval Glastonbury was a sparsely populated corner of the world in 1297. There were a few small villages; there were rumors of a colony of Priestesses somewhere beyond Avalon's mists; and there was a solitary Benedictine Monastery ...but none knew much of the business of the others. The Benedictine Monks went about their daily routines and their vigils, largely oblivious to the unimaginable secret contained within a small wooden chest stored in a musty alcove of their monastery's library. They took little notice of the faded old documents that had miraculously survived the rigors of time and the perils of travel from the Eastern Crusades ...that is, until the day a Papal command arrived from Rome ordering Abbot Anselm to destroy by fire ...parchments, chest and all! What were these secret things that the Church of 1297 so urgently wished removed from the world? These letters would certainly have been destroyed in 1297 had two of the Benedictine Brothers not saved the documents from Pope Boniface VIII's commanded burning, by stealing them away before they could be destroyed. One fled with the entire cache of script to Scotland while the other remained at the Monastery. As the Scottish War for Independence plunged the entire area into chaos, they managed to hide the translations safely away in "Fairey Land." What mysteries were revealed in these letters and this enigmatic Gospel of Esus that survived against such incredible odds? Why did the 13th Century Pope order their destruction? Come and join the characters of this book as they discover the Great Secret that in the centuries to follow would condemn to the fire any who dared even whisper it aloud. Read for yourself and decide whether this intriguing tale is entertaining fiction ...or whether it's fact!
