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

The holy grail is a bastardization of the old Celtic take of the cauldron. In the original Arthurian myth (the pagan version) there were 4 sacred objects the priestesses held. The Cauldron from which the God is born and which holds all wisdom. The Spear, the plate and the Sword which was not made from ore raped from the earth, but from a meteorite.

The legend of the Holy Grail is a metaphorical representation of Catholic beliefs concerning the Mass and the Eucharist-- a symbolic presentation of the meaning of such things told in the genre of a medieval romance. It you want to see the Grail and decipher it's mysteries, find a Catholic Church and watch the way in which they worship-- the answer to the secrets of the Grail is found within this experience.
Modern, neo-pagan construals of the Grail legend are the creation of 19th century British intellectuals.

The idea of the "Holy Grail" is a euphemism for the worship of WOMEN as embodiments of Deity. This idea is known and still practiced in India, although in a corrupt form. It requires that the devotee (male) regard ALL women (not just the young and pretty ones) as avatars of the Goddess, and treat them accordingly. Since misogyny is pretty well entrenched in the common weal and in popular religion, and women themselves contribute to the ongoing problem by being mostly ignorant and engrossed with mundane foolishness, terminal vanity, and rank stupidity, this is a VERY difficult proposition, since confronted with this reality, it is well-nigh IMPOSSIBLE for any man to work up respect, much less devotion, towards them.
