The Holy Grail is inside your mind, body, and spirit, waiting for you to call it forth...

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.The legend may combine Christian lore with a Celtic myth of a cauldron endowed with special powers.

I watched a program on this the other day. They suggested it could be in 2 places. Buried under a church in Scotland, or in Ethiopia.
If there is a holy grail (the lost arc of the provenant) then I think it is more likely to be in Ethiopia.

Probably dust by now. And it's a good thing because man being what he is, would most likely idolize it.
Man can turn anything into an idol, and I think it's great that we don't for instance have anything Christ used or touched.
Look what happened with that shroud from Turin!
All attention should be on God.
Where the grail is, no one ever knew.

That's way too loaded of a question with way too many theories to cover. I recomend the following book for you: Bloodline of the Holy Grail by Sir Laurence Gardner.

Not sure, of course it may not exist at all as it seems to be mostly myth. The "theory" espoused in "Holy Blood, Holy Grail' is for all intensive purposed a laughable fantasy sold to gullible minds.

The holy cup... supposedly according to Davinci code is a vessel that holds the progeny of Christ and Mary Magdelene who is buried in Scotland... the whereabouts we conveniently cannot find... Would be handy for DNA testing though...

in a work of fiction written a few hundred yrs ago( kind of early da vinci code) it was meant as a work of fiction and entertainment but the author never put his name to it for fear of what the church would do to him. but of course after time it was absorbed into the collective catholic mythos, as the church is so good at doing and now there is another fairytale to keep the masses mesmerised.

In the fevered imagination of some rather sad people.
