If Holy Grail is the cup used by Jesus Christ ,can we see now also, where is it now?

Answer 1

It is believed to have been made out of wood, so in all likelihood it has rotted away by now. Even if by some miracle it still exists, no one would be able to authenticate it as the actual chalice used by Jesus.

Answer 2

The Holy Grail is an invention. It turns up in works of fiction. Some of the works in question are classics, notably Thomas Malory's Le Morte Darthur ("The Death of Arthur," c. 1470), in which the Grail--reimagined as a symbol of mystical union with God--is the object of the prototypical knightly quest. The notion of a quest for a talisman of incomparable value still fascinates romantics (and not a few screenwriters) lo these many centuries later. But the object of the quest, to some extent then and certainly now, is little more than a McGuffin, to use Hitchcock's term--a pretext that propels the story. You might as well search for Excalibur, or for Frodo's magic ring.
A few things you need to understand about the Holy Grail. First, notwithstanding the impression you may get from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, it's not necessarily the cup used by Jesus at the Last Supper. Though commonly depicted as a chalice or as the dish holding the Paschal Lamb, in some accounts it's a cauldron, a philosopher's stone, or an emerald struck from Lucifer's crown as he plunged into hell.

Second, the Grail-as-mystical-object doesn't appear in ancient Christian texts--unlike, say, the Ark of the Covenant. The earliest mention we know of is in a retelling of the King Arthur legend called Le Conte du Graal, written in the last quarter of the 12th century by the French poet Chretien de Troyes. Chretien, who's credited with inventing the courtly romance, wrote several Arthurian tales, apparently based on Celtic sources. The Grail in Chretien's story is a fancy platter with an otherworldly (but not explicitly religious) aura. The knight Perceval sees it while feasting at the castle of the Fisher King, where it's brought in as part of a procession of mysterious objects. Though curious, Perceval holds his tongue--he's already been scolded for asking too many questions. Big mistake. Because he fails to inquire about the Grail, the Fisher King and his castle are doomed to remain in a netherworld, neither dead nor alive. To rectify matters, Perceval must embark on a quest, which drives the rest of the tale.

Answer 3

The Holy Grail is supposedly the cup Jesus drank from at the last supper, so you can see why it has a deep meaning for Christians. It was "lost" sometime after Jesus' death. It was one of the reasons for the crusades, they were trying to find the Holy Grail!

Answer 4

According to Grail Lore it was hidden some where in Glastonbury around 38 CE (AD) when Joseph of Arimathea entrusted it to the Druids for safe keeping when he made a pilgrimage to the isles to spread the Gospel and have Jesus' sons Jesus the second and James Schooled at the Druidic University on Anglesey. Between everybody and their brother sacking the Isles over several centuries, I sincerely doubt that it has survived into modern times.

Answer 5

If Holy Grail is the cup used by Jesus Christ ,can we see now also, where is it now?

We can't actually find a flesh and blood Jesus,
and now we can't find his cup.
I'm beginning to think all this fantastical stuff
is make believe and fake.

Answer 6

the cup could be a symbol, a myth, have you watched the DaVinci code? even tho the storyline may be fiction, there might be truth to the holy grail part of it...watch it...

Answer 7

The Cup is a well traveled myth. It doesn't exist outside of legend.

Answer 8

no one knows it is unlikely it survived the 1st century it is just a faible used in storrys of the great knights but I do not beleave it was ever kept as a holy relic

Answer 9

It's actually in my kitchen cupboard, but you can see it for an appropriate fee.

Answer 10

I think Wal-Mart has one.
