A Holy Tree Cast Down By Vandals

Last week vandals sawed the limbs off the Glastonbury Holy Thorn Tree in Britain, reducing it to a stump. The tree is thought by some to have ties to the earliest days of Christianity, and each year local children cut sprigs from it to garnish the Queen's Christmas dining table. Host Liane Hansen takes a moment for the sacred tree.
