1. The Holy Grail was, according to legend, the cup used by Christ at the last supper and in which Joseph of Arimathea received Christ's blood at the Cross. In medieval times the search for this cup was the object of long and heroic quests by an international community of knights many of whom devoted their lives to the task.
