Rev dear Rev: Is there some Christian root to Christianity in Britain that lies around Glastonbury, anything we can know?

Far, far away from the lovely hillocks and drumlins of Glastonia, the story of Arthur arguably the first Christian and true king of All Britannia begins elsewhere, with the Sarmatian or rather Ukrainian Cavalry Units staffing the Wall of Hadrian on that unhappy frontier, and here the story of Arthur, probably originally a Ukrainian born knight, begins, so there may be reasons for an ancient revisiting of those ancient alliances between UK and Ukra in those stories of Arthur. Ukrainian knights. How he got to be a Christian king is an involved, convoluted story but the location of Glastonbury as his fairy palace of glass, the original meaning of the inland island refuge there, may have been the key factor, since according to ancient historians, St Philip of Alexandria on his gospel preaching travels to Roman Gaul around 40 AD first hit on the idea of sending 12 hermit-apostles to the island of glass to settle down there on account of their historic association with the young Jesus and Joseph and Nicodemus. Contemplation.
