What is a holy grail?

Answer 1

The holy grail was a much sought-after item. It was believed to be the cup that Jesus drank out of. Many supposed it to be made of gold and richly decorated. Some believed it had magical powers. It has never been found.

Jesus, however, was a the son of a carpenter (actually, he is the Son of God, but on earth Joseph, a carpenter, was his acting father). He was humble and taught of the Kingdom of Heaven. There is no indication in The Bible that Jesus ever drank out of such a thing as the Holy Grail or indulged in any such riches at all. The existence of a Holy Grail, therefore, is extremely and extraordinarily unlikely.

What is written below is the work of fiction and isn't and never will be backed up by fact. It is the product of a storybook 'The Da Vinci Code'. The author of the below answer obviously cannot separate reality from a movie he saw or a book he read.

According to Leonardo der si Piero da Vinci, the Holy Grail was not a Cup, but actually a Chalice. The Sign of Womanhood. Now, in the Last Supper painting by Leonardo, Jesus, and his Wife, are leaning away from each other, forming a shape in between them. A Chalice, Womanhood.

In the beginning, the Holy Grail was the Cup Jesus had drinken from in the Last Supper, according to Early Christain Mythology Legends. Jesus's Wife, was Mary Magdalene who was preganent with Jesus's Son. When the Romans had Crucified Jesus, Mary fled to another place where she lived the remainder of her life. Even though the Zealots continued to persue her, she was never caught. She died and was laid to rest in a Concrete tomb, located in France. Paris. The Holy Grail isn't a Magical Cup indicating gods powers, no. The Holy Grail is Mary Magdalene's Tomb, indicating, the CHURCH's power. "Holy", being Jesus's Blood, the Grail, a Type of Cup, or Chalice, was Womanhood, Mary Herself. Now, some might question "Just because Da Vinci Painted it, doesnt make it true". That is where the Priory of Sion comes into play. The Priory of Sion, protects the holy Grail, and its power. Da Vinci was, one of the Priory's Members. He belonged to the Sion. The Sion was a Secret Society founded by the Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1099, which preserves the Bloodlines of the Merovingian Dynasty alongside, protecting the Holy Grail. The Sion created the Knights Templar as their Financial Branch and Military Arm.
