Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Mistletoe in the churchyard, Holy Cross Church The practice of hanging mistletoe over doorways and kissing those who passed beneath can be traced back to the Druids. The Celts, the Norse and the Druids promoted mistletoe in England. Though the church never gave mistletoe official status, its magical powers to create harmony and amity became the stuff of folk legend. It was rumoured that if enemies met beneath it, they would lay down their weapons. This was just one of the tombs with mistletoe on it. |
