	The Holy Grail
		As Richard Barber suggests in The Holy Grail: Imagination and Belief, an impulse to seek out scattered fragments and invest them with unlikely properties lies behind the popularity of the grail legend - about which there is no mention whatsoever in the Bible; nor, it turns out, any subsequent concrete agreement.
		"You are the keepers of the Holy Grail?" enquires Sir Galahad in Monty Python and The Holy Grail.
		Barber is scrupulous in his fairness, his conclusions are interesting and although he keeps his reins tight on some fun he might have had, he performs a valuable service in rescuing the original grail from 800 years of garbled and improbable misreadings.

		Wherefore in memory of them we ought to honor any relics of theirs in a fitting manner: principally their bodies, which were temples, and organs of the Holy Ghost dwelling and operating in them, and are destined to be likened to the body of Christ by the glory of the Resurrection.
		On the other hand the practical difficulty of pronouncing a final verdict upon the authenticity of these and similar relics must be patent to all....Further, devotions of ancient date depply rooted in the heart of the peasantry cannot be swept away without some measur eof scandal and popular disturbance....
		Hence there is justification for the practice of the Holy See in allowing the cult of certain doubtful ancient relics to continue.
