hmm... well I have difficulty with Joseph coming to Britain, but at least there is some kind of logical reason put forward for him doing so (and there were a lot of Jewish names in Wales in the third century).
However, putting Joseph and Jesus as some kind of Romano-Jewish Delboy and Rodney walking around Cornwall is a bit silly methinks. And anyway... does it matter?

Of course it matters, how can we possibly present a religious conviction without gaining the moral high ground over the opposition............ ;D ;D ;D RR |

and there were a lot of Jewish names in Wales in the third century Cos there were lots of Christians really into the Old Testament. That's why you have saints with names like Selyf (solomon), Samson (of Dol), David, and so on. |

And of course don't forget that Hebrew areas were also part of the Roman empire, there is bound to be some familiarity across it.

LOL I just had a image of Joseph and Jesus driving around Cornwall in a old battered yellow Robin Reliant van! Anyone want to buy a 100 bottle of water that turn to wine? cushdie! |

That's why you have saints with names like Selyf (solomon), Samson (of Dol), David, and so on. Hmmm. I always thought their messiah furfilled the old law/testament. Thereby making it redundant, issued a new law/testament to love God & one another. Damn shame that for 2000 very few of them have followed that advice. |
