The Holy Grail

On the controversy of the Holy Grail and all of the legends that surround with it.

The topic of the Holy Grail has been a topic of fierce controversy by scholars and scientists alike for hundreds of years. Jesus Christ of Nazareth has been the focus about whom the Holy Grail myths have surrounded. Mary Magdalene is considered to be the woman with whom Jesus created his bloodline, if indeed such existed. Many believe that the Holy Grail is a cup, and there are several ideas to where it may be hidden and what secrets the cup may hold. The thought that the Holy Grail could actually be the result of Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ’s marriage is one that has shocked Roman Catholics around the globe.

Whenever there is mention of the Holy Grail, Jesus Christ is the first person to come to mind. Jesus was born to a Mary Shalom, who is considered the blessed “virgin mother” by Christianity. Christianity tells us that Mary was filled with the holy spirit and was impregnated by the divine power of God and not a mortal man. Her husband, Joseph of Bethlehem, was to be the adopted father of Jesus on earth, and he served his purpose after being contacted by an angel in his sleep of the Lord’s plans. Jesus was considered to be the Messiah, the Son of God, who had been sent to Earth to teach humans about the Lord’s law and to wipe away sin. He was later crucified, which Christianity says was God’s sacrifice so that all people could be forgiven of original sin. Jesus of Nazareth led his life as a teacher and rabbi, and he traveled throughout the Middle East with twelve disciples whom he chose himself. Jesus taught people the “Word of God” and educated people on the way of living purely. Of the many things that Jesus taught through his ministry, he especially stressed tolerance, love and peace to each and every person he encountered. Jesus is also said to have performed several miracles, including healing a blind man to see again and transforming a meager amount of food into enough to fill the crowd he was teaching several times over.

Jesus’ ministry lasted until he was in his mid thirties; unfortunately, the end of his life soon followed once he had angered many priests and Lords throughout the towns he visited during his ministry. They called him a false prophet and held strong grudges against him. After much debate, it was decided by the Roman Empire that Jesus would be put to death. Jesus of Nazareth was crucified by Pontius Pilot under accusations of sedition against the Roman Empire and Church. Jesus Christ was buried after his death, and according to the Christian teachings, rose from the dead and ascended into heaven as the Prince of Peace in the Kingdom of Heaven. Christianity says that Jesus came in spirit to tell his disciples of his revival into heaven, and he promised them all a place in heaven as well. He left it in their charge to continue his teachings and establish a church against the Roman Empire’s wishes.

    In your article, you state “Although the Bible makes Mary Magdalene out as a prostitute,…”. I am unaware of any verse in the Bible that refers to Mary as a prostitute. Please provide your readers with a quote from the New Testament to support this claim.

    I’m afraid that it is common knowledge that Mary was once regarded as a prostitute, though I believe that only Catholic ideals ever supported such a claim. If you are a reverend, you mustn’t be a Catholic, so I believe that you may not have heard of any such atrocity. The church has had the claim removed because the modern world is changing, but there was once a time that Magdalene was discredited.

    WoW! This was an interesting article! Thanks a lot for sharing. It’s nice that you took so long time to write a nice and long article about The Holy Grail. I’m writing a lot of articles about the Arthurian Legend (King Arthur & Co.) And I like this article very much. I’ve written about The Holy Grail too. I think it’s fiction, but It’s very interesting anyway!

    Please check out my article about The Holy Grail :)

    Well, I’m not claiming to be anything special but I had a dream of finding the holy Grail. I had a dream of the location. And if it is gods will I will do it. I pledge to find it.
