Holy Grail

According to the etymology of the Old French word san-gréal (“holy grail”), refers to the “real blood” (sang réal) of Jesus Christ. The subject of the Holy Grail is taboo, “a secret for the unworthy,” which can provide only its chosen ones with “ethereal viands.” Nevertheless, according to surviving legends, during the Last Supper, the cup was used for communion between Christ and His apostles. Then, the mysterious vessel became associated with another legend — that this was the chalice containing the blood of Jesus Christ that Joseph of Arimathea gathered when he took down His crucified body from the cross. Precious containers for materialized sacred relics imply the nobility of the material of which they are made. They are also associated with miraculous powers, especially when the vessel contains something that is incomprehensible in terms of the study of its structure — the blood of Christ. It was crystallized and literally “stuck” to the walls of the chalice, thereby creating a special mixture in combination with metal, becoming similar to a stone that has magical properties. The Holy Grail is akin to the Treasure of the World, the Chintamani Stone, that was presented as a Gift to Earth by the constellation of Orion. Certainly, a special combination of stellar currents constitutes the Chintamani. However, in the case of the Holy Grail, the blood spilled on the Earth bound the Spirit and Flesh of the Crucified Christ with terra firma by “blood ties,” thereby creating a new miraculous Gift for the planet.
