Glastonbury and Patmos - Twinned in Perpetuity
Patmos and Glastonbury are world famous and are said to share the distinction of the presence of men, in St Joseph and St John, who knew the living Christ. These men took with them the same message that Christ had taught from those earliest times; the Christianity that Joseph knew and brought to our Britain was the same that John took to Patmos.

Glastonbury Twinned with Lalibela
Lalibela, the twelfth-century capital of Ethiopia, lies at 2,600 metres in the Ethiopian highlands with surrounding peaks of nearly 4,000 metres. It is probably the most famous tourist site and most popular pilgrimage centre in Ethiopia with its clusters of twelfth-century rock-hewn underground churches.
