The Legend of the Holy Grail

The legend of the Holy Grail has long held a place of fascination in Christian tradition and Western culture. Though not found in the Bible, the Grail’s story has deep roots in medieval Christian thought, literature, and imagination. It is most commonly described as the cup or chalice used by Jesus at the Last Supper and later associated with Joseph of Arimathea, who was said to have used it to collect Christ’s blood during the Crucifixion. The Grail became a powerful symbol of divine grace, purity, and the Christian quest for spiritual fulfillment.
