Keckler--who may soon win himself a plush suite of offices here in the Singletails Building on Park Avenue in the 50s as the Director of our Fact Checking Department--points out that English Christian Folklore has it that it was not Simon of Cyrene (who was compelled to carry Jesus' cross as he walked to Golgotha), but Joseph of Arimethea, identified as a wealthy man who gave over his tomb for the crucified Christ, that was believed to be Jesus' uncle and took him to England as a boy. Keckler also has a line on how the Holy Grail might have found it's way to England, too. Something about which I don't know too much.
