I love this! Being non-religious I can nevertheless appreciate this continuity of the natural aspects of myth through cultures and belief systems, and the ongoing human longing for something transcending the earthly (and tendency to make shit up!) Love your voice!
Had a quick look on the Dúchas archive and did, indeed, find several entries describing this story in Ireland including one in lyrical form. Funnily enough there was also a couple of entries saying that if you ask for something at the foot of a cherry tree you'll know whether you'll get it or not. Which I imagine is connected one way or another.
Joseph was very loving and attentive and I don't believe he spoke to Mary in this way . I believe the conversation happened but before Joseph could assist in picking the cherries Jesus and his love for his wonderful Mother commanded the tree to bend over for easy picking. Joseph never got pissed off, as a young man Joseph endured cruelty from his brothers as he prayed in ecstasy all the while they pushed at him as he kneeled. He never got pissed off or retaliated after his prayer was finished. Joseph terrorizer of Satan pray for us!
This is a very impressive presentation, well researched and with fascinating connections. Thanks, Saro!

Found you on TikTok first - the documentary aspect adds a lot - and your singing takes me back (to past lives).
What is the drone instrument called - where does it originate - and how is it different from what we hear in Kirtan or the music of India?
So interesting. I want to learn more
Saro Lynch WOW!
Great story telling with perky jump cuts.Very well done.
Muslim student of Abrahamic faiths here, Islam actually got the story from Eastern Orthodox Christianity, not the other way around.
