The Holy Grail
A Brief Overview
The
symbolism and esoteric significance of the Holy Grail is rooted in Christian
mythology but has become inseparable from Celtic mysticism.
The
Holy Grail was the dish, plate,
or cup used by Jesus at the Last Supper, said to possess miraculous powers. The
quest for the Grail is also synthesised with the search for spitual development
and self realisation
The
Holy Grail is also referred in various traditions as
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.
This
story formed the basis for further embellishement and 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.
The
legend may combine Esoteric Christian Mysticism with a Celtic myth of a
cauldron endowed with special powers.
In the poems 'The
Spoils of Annwn' accredited to the Welsh bard 'Taliesin' of the sixth-century
is a description of a sacred vessel that is sought in the Annwn, the
Underworld, by a group of learned mystics, believed to be a vessel akin to the
symbolism of the Grail.
The
development of the Grail legend has been traced in detail by cultural
historians: It is a legend which first came together in the form of written
romances, deriving perhaps from some pre-Christian mythological hints, in the
later 12th and early 13th centuries. The early Grail romances centered on
Percival and were woven into general Arthurian legend.

The restored and
landscaped Chester Amphitheatre
Some historians
believe that this was the site
of King Arthur’s
Round Table. Chester’s Roman fortifications
and its proximity to
the Welsh border have always made it a
strong candidate for the location of Camelot.
Chester is also often credited with
being the site of
“ The Battle of the
City of the Legion”
which was King Arthur’s ninth victory
