Re: saint paul's

Jul 30, 2004, 06:26

I've since learnt that one of the features of St Paul's - St Paul's Cross, a place of free speech in the churchyard - was once a rough stone called St Paul's stump. There were also stones directly between the hills, including (maybe) the London Stone. St Paul's stump was originally called Pol's Stump (where the Paul connection comes from?) and Pol was the Saxon name of Balder, the Norse dieing / resurrecting light god. And historians say pagan Saxons worshiped in the uninhabited post Roman ruins of London long before the place was (re)Christianised, amongst the possible ruins of a Diana and Apollo temple at St Pauls (and if so a probable Pre Roman sacred site as well). So Pol's Stump may have been pre St Paul's and maybe even pre Saxon. Where the stone originally was exactly is unknown it seems. It would be nice to find it marked the sunrise orientation of the site!
