Sacred cups and chalices have a number of different uses. In one case, the secret of the holy grail refers to a sacred chalice which has often been believed to have caught the blood of Jesus as he died on the cross. While this is the case, this is only one legend related to the chalice which many have searched for since the time of the crucifixion.

While the most common legend is the one related to Christ, there are also other myths and tales about the object. For example, there are tales tied to Hitler, Atlantis, Germany and the so-called supreme race as to it being a secret Nazi symbol. Obviously, the powers that be have well hid these facts and others over the course of time.

As of now, the identity of the object remains a mystery. Currently, authors, scientists and theologians all agree it is most likely one of these two objects, either a sacred cup, or an ancient document. While at the same time, it is difficult to believe that even if it were an ancient document penned by Jesus, the document would be in good enough condition to prove that was the case.

In the case of a chalice, the cup holds a connection to the Egyptian bloodline from which Jesus was descended. If found and there were enough remnants, scientist suggest DNA could potentially be found. Otherwise, the legacy of the cup will most likely remain a legend, even if it remains nothing more than a mysterious legacy.

Many films, movies and podcasts have focused on this ancient and missing relic. In fact, the purest history dates back to the time of King Arthur and the knights of the round table. For, King Arthur and the knights met at a round table which held an opening in the center for a chalice. Whereas, it is believed Jesus sat at a similar table with the disciples.

While a number of paintings reflect the last supper as taking place at a rectangular table, it is more likely Jesus sat with the 12 disciples at a round table with the holy grail sitting in a circle which had been cut out for that sole purpose. It is interesting to note that the 12 knights and King Arthur also met at a round table.

When it comes to King Arthur, one of the most common analogies of the chalice is that of a princess. In some cases, the knights loved to play with others by having the princess come in with a green cloth, then asking if a specific knight could see the grail. After which, all the knight sees is a princess and cloth. After which, the knights break out in laughter. For, the princess was the daughter of the wounded Fisher King, a Holy Hermit and the womb of the princess, the holy grail.

When it comes to the legend and King Arthur, the knights are there to protect the princess. In many cases, these individuals would also be responsible for protecting sacred objects. While this was the case, if the holy grail is in fact the cup which held the blood of Jesus, it was most likely a disciple whom was given responsibility as caretaker of the sacred object.
