The Kings Round Table At Camelot

The Round Table In The Land Of Camelot

There are so many stories but the one that comes up the most is what I am going to be telling you.  I wrote about Jesus who visited Briton and some of you did not believe that he could have visited there. +http://www.bubblews.com/news/1982403-jesus-visits-the-brittish-isles   I digress; I have found yet another instance in the King Arthur and Camelot story where he comes into play.  Joseph of Aramathea was a key player in the making of the Round Table.  Arthur’s father had Joseph of Aramathea make the Round Table.  It was the Holy Spirit that had Joseph make the table and he gave it to Guinevere’s father, King Leodegan.  When Arthur and Guinevere wed that is when he gave the table to King Arthur.  That is the theme that runs through all the stories that I have read.

The other account was that Merlin mustered up all his magical powers and made the table.  It was said that this is where there are thirteen seats instead of the twelve.  They were made in memory of the thirteen Apostles.  The thirteenth was made specifically for the traitor Judas and was named “The Perilous Seat.” 

Each Sir Knight’s name was written into the seat.  When one knight left it was filled by another knight.  The symbolic meaning for the table round was that is was meant as equality.  No one was better than another as when the table would have been square or rectangle.  Each was as equal as the other.
