text_original: The connecting link between the three is the legend of the wood of the cross. This well known story, most of which is interwoven with the whole trilogy, is as follows:  Seth was sent by his dying father to beg the promised Oil of Mercy to save him; the angel who guarded Paradise gave him three seeds, or, according to the play, apple pips; and when he returned and found his father already dead, he placed them in Adam's mouth and buried him on Mount Moriah.
