Canterbury: The Fallen Cross


Was very sad to see that this wonderful, old wooden Celtic cross, from a grave inside St. Martin's church grounds, had fallen over. Can still remember doing a tour for foreign students  at an EFL school in Canterbury, and the students always marvelling at this cross when it was still standing.

Saw the fallen cross last summer and looking at this picture now, it seems highly symbolic of the chaos that is currently happening in the USA and Britain, with young, mainly middle-class leftists/ nihilists trying to topple any statues that they happen to come across.


Old churches like St. Martin's just remind me of brighter, more metaphysical times.
