Did Christ drink from the Holy Grail at the Last Supper?
The very nature of the Holy Grail is surrounded by different stories. Some claim that it's the bowl that Joseph used to collect the blood of Jesus Christ when he was dying on the cross. Others claim that it's the cup that Christ drank from at the Last Supper. The search for the Grail has taken questors around the world, but one of the most enduring legends tells us that it was brought to Britain by Jesus Christ's great uncle, Joseph of Aramithea - a tin merchant who often travelled to Cornwall and Somerset to trade in precious metals. He is thought to have left on a voyage shortly after Christ's death, but this time is thought to have headed to Glastonbury - the Glass Isle he had been sent to find by the Archangel Raphael."
