	Holy Grail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The development of the Grail legend has been traced in detail by cultural historians: It is a gothic legend, which first came together in the form of written romances, deriving perhaps from some pre-Christian folklore hints, in the later 12th and early 13th centuries.
		The legend of the Holy Grail is the basis of the use of the term holy grail in modern-day culture.
		For the authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail, who assert that their research ultimately reveals that Jesus may not have died on the cross, but lived to marry Mary Magdalene and father children whose Merovingian bloodline continues today, the Grail is a mere sideshow.

	Grail
		Grail (Graal) - Magic vessel with miraculous healing powers protected by an otherworldly keeper or "king." Pagan fertility myths and their related talismans along with the concept of a symbiotic union between the king and the land were all precursors to what was to eventually become the object of Arthur and his knights' Quest.
		The christianization of the Grail in plain terms begins with Robert de Boron and is adapted by his successors into a larger myth.
		The quest itself is sometimes intimated to be one of the causes for the dissolution of the Round Table, drawing away it's best and bravest knights and inadvertently initiating a moral decline that culminates in the triumph of Mordred's plots in destroying the order.

	Quest for the Holy Grail p1 - Rosicrucian Archive
		The paradox is to explain why the Grail Knight finds it necessary to go on a quest for something that he or she can presumably obtain in any church at any time.
		The Grail is the principle of wholeness and is therefore the entire inner landscape as well as the individual locations.
		The Grail Quest must be seen in the context of the western Church that emphasises the expiation of sins through the sacrificial death of Christ.

	Holy Grail - Crystalinks
		For Chretien the grail was a wide, somewhat deep dish or bowl, interesting because it contained not a pike, salmon or lamprey, as the audience may have expected for such a container, but a single Mass wafer which provided sustenance for the Fisher King¹s crippled father.
		The legend of the Holy Grail is the basis of the use of the devalued term holy grail in modern-day culture.
		The Grail was overripe, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) deflated it and all pseudo-Arthurian posturings.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Holy Grail
		The most detailed history of the Grail is in the "Grand St. Graal," a bulky French prose romance of the first half of the thirteenth century, where we are told that Christ Himself presented to a pious hermit the book concerning this history.
		The fully developed Grail legend was later on still further connected with other legends, as in Wolfram's poem with that of Lohengrim, the swan-knight, and also with that of Prestor John, the fabled Christian monarch of the East.
		After the Renaissance the Grail legend, together with most medieval legends, fell into oblivion, from which it was rescued when the Romantic movement set in at the beginning of the nineteenth century.

	The Grail Legend: from ancient stories to Wagnerian opera
		he legends of the Holy Grail are woven of three strands: a Celtic tradition of otherworld vessels and supernaturally powerful weapons; an Arabic or Byzantine tradition of a mysterious stone that had fallen from the heavens; and a Christian tradition, perhaps of Gnostic or heretical origin, of a mysterious talisman.

		Boron explicitly says that Grail was the cup or chalice used by Christ at the Last Supper, and later at the Crucifixion, when Joseph of Arimathea used the Grail to catch the blood of Christ.
		The Grail (and the Lance) vanished with Perceval's death.
		Perceval was not the true Grail knight in the new tale; his role was taken over by Galahad, the illegitimate son of Lancelot and Elaine, who was the daughter of the Fisher King.

	The Fisher King
		Magic swords of this type are mentioned in both "The Spoils of Annwn" and "Culhwch and Olwen." In later Grail stories the sword is frequently broken, whereby the mending of the sword represents one of the tasks used to test the mettle of the Grail Knight (Co, Q).
		This was definitely the case in the early romances, where the Grail is said to have served a salmon or pike to the Grail king.
		It clearly sustains the inhabitants of the Grail castle and is further accredited with the longevity of the Fisher King.

		The Holy Grail is believed by some to have been the chalice used at the Last Supper, by others to have been a cup used by Joseph of Arimathea to catch the blood of the crucified Christ, and by others still to have been both.
		There has been a renewed interest since the publication of The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail in 1982, which claims, in a nutshell, that Jesus survived the crucifixion and together with Mary Magdalene founded a bloodline in France, the Merovingians, who were protected by the Knights Templar and later by the Freemasons.
		Barber believes that 20th Century fascination with the Grail stems from "the revival of interest in medieval literature in the 19th Century, when Tennyson, Wagner and the Pre-Raphaelite artists were all enthusiasts for the Grail legends" - and that our fascination today has been boosted by the contemporary penchant for conspiracy theories and cover-ups.

	The Holy Grail
		In fact, the earliest references to the Holy Grail coincide with the Frankish kingdom of Jerusalem in its full glory, when the Templars were at the apex of their overt power, and when the Cathar heresy was gaining a momentum that actually threatened to displace the creed of Rome.*
		The implication is that the Grail itself, the "blood royal", refers to the blood royal of the Merovingian dynasty -- a blood that was deemed to be sacred and invested with magical or miraculous properties.
		Two, the Grail romances are for the most part, set in Merovingian times, but none were composed until after Godfroi de Bouillon -- fictional scion of the Grail family and actual scion of the Merovingians -- was installed, in everything but name, as King of Jerusalem.

	Knight Templars and the Holy Grail

		In both versions it becomes apparent that the Grail was a revered object, a great relic that needed to be housed properly.
		The main links between the Knights Templar and the Holy Grail are the facts that some knights did attend the cup and that the Templars are supposed to have guarded a great treasure which has never been found.

	The Ecole Initiative: The Holy Grail
		The Grail itself is variously identified as luminous cup, bowl, jewel, and (by Wolfram) stone, capable of providing unlimited food and drink.
		Obviously, the Grail story, particularly in its Celtic origins and as related by Wolfram, is at odds with a theology which insists on the absolute masculinity of God, the inferiority of women, and an ethos of sexual asceticism.
		Some of the conflicting ways the Grail has been portrayed and interpreted, can be explained by the fact that it began to captivate the medieval popular imagination during a time of intense religious ferment and intellectual turmoil.

		In a later e-mail, Alejandro Rivero clarifies that it isn't claimed that this cup is the "original" Grail, merely that this numinous cup somehow became the focal point for the many of the Grail legends that sprang up in the Pyrenees mountains region.
		Scavone, a noted expert on the Turin Shroud, argues that it was the secret existence of this blood-stained shroud (miraculously marked with Christ's image) that was somehow garbled into the story of a secret cup that held the blood of Christ.

		It uses a fixed-length window to locate the potential coding regions and then evaluates a number of discrete candidates of different lengths around each potential coding region, using information from the two 60-base regions adjacent to that coding region, to find the 'best' boundaries for that coding region.
		GRAIL 2 uses variable-length windows tailored to each potential exon candidate, defined as an open reading frame bounded by a pair of start/donor, acceptor/donor or acceptor/stop sites.
		GRAIL 2 is therefore not appropriate for sequences without genomic context (when the regions adjacent to an exon are not present).
