What reading level is Holly Yew Box With Notes On Other Evergreens book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The pro- bability is that these old Yews were looked on as sacred trees in druidical times, and mission- aries would so far respect the feelings of their converts as to erect their religious houses on, or as near as possible to, sites that had long been held sacred. In some old books the state- ment is made, that " when Augustine was sent 161 Holly, Yew and Box by Gregory the Great to preach Christianity in Britain, he was particularly enjoined not to destroy the heathen temples, but only to re...move the images, to wash the walls with holy water, to erect altars, etc. , and so convert them into Christian Churches. " Some old Yews are sur- rounded with a circle of stones, and Loudon, in drawing attention to this, says, that " Dr Stukeley believes that round churches are the most ancient in England, and that, as a circle was a sacred symbol among the eastern nations of antiquity, it would be interesting to know whether the raised platform within a circle of stones, which is sometimes found round our old Yews, as in Darley Dale and Llanfoist church- yards, be not a remnant of this superstition.
