The Holy Grail

[danrak]

Lately this has gained popularity with the book and later the move Th Da Vinci Code. Do you believe it ever existed, or was it a legend made up along with the stories of King Arthur? Was it a real cup, or a blood line like others have proposed.

No i dont believe in the holy grail. I think its thought provoking and an interesting read but none of the evidence is truly compelling to me. I should point out that im a big sceptic of the bible though so that might influence my opinion. :)

I don't know enough about it to form any sort of solid opinion. I would love to hear from some people who do believe it it though.

Does the bible mention the holy grail? I didn't think so.
I am another on the "don't believe" side of things. It is a very interesting tale though.

I think there's some truth to it which has long lost its truthfulness. That said, I do believe there are spin offs within the Church, like Opus Dei, which are a bit strange.

I think it was just a little something to keep the Medieval knights busy. Probably entirely made up.

well if you belive jesus had a last supper...and that he drank wine at that last supper ....then the holy grail could indeed exist in the form of his chalice as some legends have it almost certianly it does.

the other thing is if you belive jesus could have been married *and a respectable man at his time would be expected to marry* then he certianly could have a bloodline and that bloodline would want to stay protected after his wife saw how he was snuffed out.

Those are valid points. I'm not certain whether I believe in some of the recent 'findings' or whether I believe at all, but they're interesting!

I believe the holy grail to be made along with the King Arthur legends. Also it bears some great similarity to a cauldron the Tuatha De Dannan brought to Ireland with them.......of course excalibur shares a similarity to a sword the brought with them too....hhhmmmm

Who knows of such things. I wish it was clear imagine a cup of life. A sword that can never be broken and a scabbard that protects the user from all danger. These are things worthy of quests but would they be possible. The question is more do the higher dieties exist able to forge weapons for the mortals.
