The Quest for the Holy Grail
The Quest for the Holy Grail

The Holy Grail was a vessel used by Christ at the Last Supper. Given to his grand-uncle, St. Joseph of Arimathea, it was used by him to collect Christ's blood and sweat while Joseph tended him on the Cross.

Joseph was imprisoned in a rock tomb and Left to starve, he survived for several years by the power of the Grail which provided him with fresh food and drink every morning.

St. Joseph traveled to Britain and the Grail was taken to Corbenic where it was guarded by Joseph's daughter, Anna (Enygeus) and her husband, Brons.

Centuries later, the location of the Great Castle of Corbenic was forgotten. It was prophesied that the Grail would one day be rediscovered by a descendant of St. Joseph: the best knight in the land, the only man capable of the task and nobel enough to make Perilous journey.

Galahad, the son of Lancelot, was such a man. Along with a miraculous, though brief, vision of the Grail itself, a quest began.

For many years and numerous adventures and many years, Kind Arthur and the Knights crossed Britain from one end to another in their search.

Perceval discovered the castle but did not ask about the grail and left empty-hand.

Lancelot next reached Corbenic, but was prevented from entering because of he was an adulterer.

Finally Galahad arrived.
He was permitted entry to the Grail Chapel and allowed to gaze upon the great cup.

His life became complete and together grail and man were lifted up to heaven.
