Legend, Myth And Secret Of The Holy Grail

By Raymond Morris


When it comes to chalices, most often these drinking goblets are used during communion rites, rituals and weddings. Whereas, the most famous chalice is believed to have been the cup Jesus used during the last supper. While this is the case, the secret of the holy grail also known as a sacred chalice has been disputed for centuries.

Most commonly believed to be the goblet which caught the blood of Jesus, new research has led some to believe the grail is not a cup at all. Rather, an ancient document which holds writings, including the original gospels as penned by Jesus. Whereas, as early as the 1940s, the Germans and Northern Europeans came to believe it to be a secret symbol associated with Hitler and the Nazi party.

There may be new and different legends forming based on recently discovered research, relics and findings. Currently, authors, scientists and theologians agree that the grail is most likely one of two objects, either the original gospel penned by Christ, or the goblet which held the blood as provided in a number of related videos on YouTube. Regardless, the grail has been missing for over 7 centuries. As such, finding the actual artifact will continue to prove a difficult task.

Whether a cup with the DNA of Christ, or an ancient document, the object has yet to be found. As such, it appears that at least for the time being, it will remain a legend and mystery in the future. While this is the case, it is interesting to note the different interpretations so many have had with regards to the holy object.

Many films, movies and podcasts have focused on this ancient and missing relic. In fact, the purest history dates back to the time of King Arthur and the knights of the round table. For, King Arthur and the knights met at a round table which held an opening in the center for a chalice. Whereas, it is believed Jesus sat at a similar table with the disciples.

It is also believed that the last Supper took place at a second round table, not a rectangle table as shown in a number of paintings which depict the last supper. An interesting note is that there were 12 knights in the King Arthur legend and 12 disciples in the stories of Jesus. Whereas, there are also aspects related to purity and the priesthood in both legends.

When it comes to King Arthur, one of the most common analogies of the chalice is that of a princess. In some cases, the knights loved to play with others by having the princess come in with a green cloth, then asking if a specific knight could see the grail. After which, all the knight sees is a princess and cloth. After which, the knights break out in laughter. For, the princess was the daughter of the wounded Fisher King, a Holy Hermit and the womb of the princess, the holy grail.

When it comes to the legend and King Arthur, the knights are there to protect the princess. In many cases, these individuals would also be responsible for protecting sacred objects. While this was the case, if the holy grail is in fact the cup which held the blood of Jesus, it was most likely a disciple whom was given responsibility as caretaker of the sacred object.
