All About the Grail
The Grail, often represented as the cup used by Jesus Christ at the Last Supper, could have been used by his disciple Joseph of Arimathea to collect the blood that came out of the right side of the Son of Man. Joseph would then have carried it through the Roman Empire, celebrating mass before a round table. After its arrival in Britain, the Grail appeared at the court of King Arthur, filling his knights with joy and amazement. When it disappeared, the knights of the Round Table vowed to set out in search of it. Then began the great epic of the Grail quest, which inspired several generations of poets and writers.
And there are many who still hope today to discover one of the most marvelous myths of our history. Xavier Coadic is a historian, director of the cultural service of the Château de la Bourbansais.
