# Mysterious tombstone
The photo below shows the baptismal font of Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. A boy was born in Stratford on April 23, 1564, baptised in this altar three days later, and in the rest of his life wrote numerous classic works of literature, becoming a figure in the history of world literature.

52 years later, he returned to his roots and was buried here, becoming a place of worship for countless literature lovers around the world. His name: William Shakespeare.

This literary town full of English style. Shakespeare is everywhere. Road names are Romeo, William. Good day, few people, beautiful scenery, sunny day, clear water, breezes, is very comfortable, have not read Shakespeare's works pseudo Wen Qing is very touched.

It is a curious anecdote that later generations will relish the fact that Shakespeare died on the same date as his birth, April 23. In fact, this is only a theory, because the Holy Trinity Church records the date of baptism of infants, recorded Shakespeare's baptism date of April 26, according to the custom of the time, three days after the baby was born.

It is said that God could no longer endure the absence of Shakespeare in heaven and called to him on his 52nd birthday.

Stratford-upon-avon has its origins in the Saxon culture of medieval England (the name "straet-ford" indicates that it was a river crossing) and for many centuries it was little more than a small market town on the way to London. Even today, it has only 24,000 permanent residents.
