The Holy Grail's Biblical Origins

The Holy Grail, often perceived as a mystical relic, has its roots in the Bible, specifically as the cup used by Jesus during the Last Supper. Although it is referred to simply as 'the cup' in biblical accounts, it has transcended its literal meaning to become a symbol filled with metaphorical significance. In Matthew 26, Jesus uses this cup to signify his impending sacrifice, representing the New Covenant for believers. This infusion of meaning adds layers to the Grail’s status, linking it to profound Christian rituals such as communion and the remembrance of Jesus's sacrifice.
