what is the holly grail exactly?

Question

it's confusing when i hear "the father,the son and the holly grail"

Answer 1

Usually it is supposed to be the cup Jesus drank from at the Last Supper; other accounts claim it caught his blood when the spear pierced his side on the cross; many accounts claim the same cup did both.

Answer 2

There is a lot of confusion about what the Holy Grail is, because it was given so many denotations.

To start with, it was the wooden dish from which Jesus ate his last supper. Then it was the holy Chalice that the Cathars used during their ceremonies. The Cathars were the only real holder of all the original and true teachings of Christ. These teachings were also called the "Holy Grail". Historically, I think it is this last meaning which is most appropriate. It is Christ's real legacy.

The Cathars were annihilated by the church on the 16th March 1244, when unarmed men, women and children were driven itno great bonfires to burn alive, because they would not submit to the worldly power of the Pope, but insisted on living humble and pure lives as Christ did. They became a "dangerous" example that could not be tolerated by the church.

The christian church to date spreads malicious lies about the Cathars, calling them an unimportant little sect, and heretics.

It had been prophecied that the Cathars will return to the Earth to lead humanity into the Spiritual Age, at the beginning of the 21st century. Their original teachings, in the language of the 21st century are now available as "Rational Spirituality" on the Dhaxem website. Although released only in February 2006, this knowledge is already a major force amongst the thinking people. Sooner than people would think, it will replace the religions by the sheer power of its logical argument. This knowledge, can therefore, be also called the Holy Grail.

Answer 3

Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The Holy Grail is supposedly the cup from the last supper. What poor Dan Brown doesn't know is that the Catholics have known where it is all along.

It's in a Cathedral in Valencia, Spain. In Spanish, it's called the Santa Caliz - or Holy Chalice.

It's a small red agate cup. The Hebrews didn't eat or drink out of pottery because it held microorganizms which could lead to ritual impurity. So they used agate.

Over the years a lot of gold ornamentation was added to it.

The cup Mary Magdalene used to catch his blood at the crucifixion is NOT the Holy Grail. That's a different cup. It is in France, where the Magdalene lived her final years.

It is sill a Hebrew practice today, to catch or clean up all the blood of a person who dies a violent death and then bury that blood with the person.

Answer 4

First, the Holy Grail - as some people say is defined as "the cup in which Jesus used during the last supper. No one knows where this cup ended up. Some people will say "this", or "that". But honestly, if the cup was kept, it would not matter anyway, because the cup whould have then turned into something "material" and become idol (which God Forbids).
And just a FYI, its "In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit".

Answer 5

In Christian mythology, the Holy Grail was the dish, plate, or cup used by Jesus at the Last Supper, said to possess miraculous powers. The connection of Joseph of Arimathea with the Grail legend dates from Robert de Boron's Joseph d'Arimathie (late 12th century) in which Joseph receives the Grail from an apparition of Jesus and sends it with his followers to Great Britain; building upon this theme, later writers recounted how Joseph used the Grail to catch Christ's blood while interring him and that in Britain he founded a line of guardians to keep it safe. The quest for the Holy Grail makes up an important segment of the Arthurian cycle, appearing first in works by Chrétien de Troyes. [1] The legend may combine Christian lore with a Celtic myth of a cauldron endowed with special powers.

The development of the Grail legend has been traced in detail by cultural historians: It is a legend which first came together in the form of written romances, deriving perhaps from some pre-Christian folklore hints, in the later 12th and early 13th centuries. The early Grail romances centered on Percival and were woven into the more general Arthurian fabric. The Grail romances started in France and were translated into other European vernaculars; only a handful of non-French romances added any essential new elements.

Some of the Grail legend is interwoven with legends of the Holy Chalice.

Answer 6

The quote is "The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit". The Holy Grail is the cup that Jesus and his Disciples allegedly drank from at the alleged Last Supper, unless you believe the more recent theory which is that it is Jesus' child.
