According to the Bible, Joseph was a wealthy man from the Judean town of Arimathea who donated his newly-built tomb for the burial of the crucified Jesus Christ. Medieval lore later placed Joseph as the first keeper of the Holy Grail and the man who brought Christianity to Great Britain. Legend held that Joseph arrived in the area of Glastonbury and was connected to the growth of the Holy Thorn and was also connected to the Chalice Well. Below the Lady Chapel at Glastonbury Abbey was an older chapel, dedicated to Saint Joseph.
