Many feel the holy grail is some thing to obtain and will go to great langths to fined it, and what I read ,this little cup was taken from the last supper because it someday will have great sacramental value, NO it was never taken off the table when they left the passover feast at the inn the innkeeper after they left put the little cup in a fat of water and washed it and put it back on the self with all the others for at that time he didn't know this man from any other and so that is why I ask you what is the holy grail for it surly wasn't that piece of clay pottery.

You are exactly right. The innkeeper probably just washed it along with all the other dishes and left it for someone else to use. Christ didn't actually turn wine into blood, if they drank it it would be contradictory to God's view of ingesting blood. It was symbolic for the convenant he was making with his disciples. People pay too much attention to these tangible things instead of the more important things like that covenant for a kingdom.

The Holy Grail is old English for holy blood, and has the meaning of a bloodline.
Joseph and Mary had several children.
Joseph of Arimathea believed to be an uncle of Jesus is also known as the tin man.
(He had tin mines in Ireland)
Now Jacob's stone was moved to Ireland

Some believe that the Holy Grail is some of the relatives of Christ alone with the stone moved to Ireland.

All of this is outside the bible except for Joseph of Arimathea who gave Christ his grave
Some believe that from the age of 12 to about 29 Christ spent most of his time with Joseph of Arimathea in Ireland.

the "cup" is a literal, hidden translation for the "womb" the holy grail was never an actual cup but the womb of mary magdalene who was carrying the child of jesus. i.e, the holy grail contained the blood of christ.

First off, it was wine when He blessed it, and it was wine when they drank it. "This is my blood" is metophoric speech, symbolic of the Christian's obligation to take up the cross of salvation and suffering, through the shed blood of Jesus on Calvary.
And, they were in Peter's mother in-law's house, not an inn.
