what is the holy grail??

Answer 1

Oh, Good question! Most will answer it is the cup of Christ from which he drank at the last supper. But it is so much more than that.
Grail is old latin for bowl. The Grail actually symbolizes the totality of the Christian experience. It contains that which is represented as the blood of Christ. Or, in other words, the Christain life. So, the Grail is not a physical object but a spiritual one. The search for the Grail is the search for the perfect Christain life that can only be attained by complete forgiveness.

Answer 2

The Holy Grail is supposed to be the cup which Jesus drank from at the Last Supper, the night before he was crucified.
Supposedly saved by Joseph of Arimethea and taken to Britain, it became the object of Arthurian legendary quests. It was possesed with supernatural powers, and could only be found by the pure of heart.

The Holy Grail may have only been a plain cheap metal cup, suitable for fishermen and farmers. An actual silver chalice decorated with small portraits of the 12 Apostles and Jesus was found in an Antioch archaeological dig... but the place where the small cup it was to cradle was empty. A popular book (1952) by Thomas Costain called "The Silver Chalice" was written, and a movie made in 1954 which starred Paul Newman.

A "grail" is a simply a cup. However, to "search for the Holy Grail" has also come to mean to search for something which is impossible to find.

Answer 3

It depends on who you ask and how they were raised to believe. To me the Holy Grail is the Golden challis the Christ used at The Last Supper. It was filled with wine gave it to his disciples blessed it saying this is the cup of my blood , the blood of the ever lasting, drink this all of you. Now I believe he was speaking figuratively. I don't think it was his actually blood. Now some believe that it was. That after the guard pushed the spear thru his side that his mother captured his blood as it spilled out. NOW if you read Dan Brown's book, the holy Grail is the child that Christ and her had. A girl. But again it depends on who you ask.
Good Luck

Answer 5

It is supposed to the cup that Christ drank out of at the last supper. I really think though that we shouldn't wasting our time looking for such holy relics, like the ark of the covenant. It can make us lose our focus too much, and eventually even lead to Idolatry.

Answer 6

Depending on who you ask, it was the cup which Jesus used at the Last Supper and later caught his blood OR it is the bloodline passed on from his child with Mary Magdalene. The second possibility is generally scoffed at, although it has become the basis for many best-selling books.

Answer 7

Literally it's the cup of christ used at the last supper.

Figuratively, it's our personal ends to quests that may never have an end. It's the thing we always try to find yet it always eludes us.

If I ever find mine I'm kicking that knight in the nuts, grabbing what I can and running like hell!
