In Search of the Holy Grail

Sir Galahad a Christian knight of the round table? (Could it be true?)

“Sir Galahad leaped down from his horse and held the dying man in his arms. When he touched the injury of his fallen comrade, the wound healed immediately and everyone stared at him in amazement.

You see, Galahad was as strong as ten men, but he was moved by people because his heart was so loving. He was the mightiest knight of the round table, even mightier than King Arthur,”

“Because he was the only knight to pass the toughest test. He was able to grasp the Holy Grail in his very hands.” “The grail is the chalice, the cup that Jesus blessed at the Last Supper”. Galahad was the only one of all the great knights who was so pure of heart, he was able to find the lost grail…” has we are told.

THE HOLY GRAIL AND JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA

"THE HOLY GRAIL", Joseph of Arimathea is the first person mentioned in history to have possession of the object called "The Holy Grail", after its use by Jesus at the "Last Supper".

The word "Grail" derives from the Latin "gradalis" that means "cup" or "chalice".
The Holy Grail was the cup or chalice that Jesus used at the "Last Supper" with which He instituted the sacrament of the "bread and wine" (Lk. 22:20),

The Holy Grail supposedly contained some of Jesus' Holy Blood collected by Joseph of Arimathea, which was spilled at the cross, the Holy Blood, could not decay,
Joseph of Arimathea is the first person mentioned in Christian literature to have possession of "The Holy Grail", after its use by Jesus at the "Last Supper".
The story of Joseph of Arimathea is told in the "Cronica sive Historia de Rebus Glastoniensibus" (1342), by John of Glastonbury, a Christian writer.

Joseph of Arimathea was wealthy Jewish merchant who travelled all over the Roman Empire, and, according to Christian writings, he did business in Britain.
Christian writings says that Joseph of Arimathea, called "The Virgin" Mary’s uncle, came to Britain as the leader of a party of Christian missionaries, at the time of the first persecution of the Jerusalem Church in AD 35/36; and brought with him to Britain some holy relics, which included the Holy Grail.

The "De Origine Ecclesiae Britannicae" written about AD 200 by Elvanus of Avalonius, the 2nd Arch-Bishop of London says that Christianity was introduced into Britain by Joseph of Arimathea in AD 36.

It is said upon coming to Britain that Joseph of Arimathea and his followers, weary, having walked up Wearyall Hill at Glastonbury, Somerset, drove his staff into the ground to lean and rest upon, and that the staff took miraculous root and grew into a tree, called "The Holy Thorn", which still today blossoms every Christmas.
The first church in the British Isles was built by Joseph of Arimathea and his party at Glastonbury, England, on the site of the old pagan temple.

Many Britons were converted to Christianity by Joseph of Arimathea and his followers.
St. Peter traditionally came to Britain in AD62 and built a chapel on the future site of Westminster Abbey in London, which is still traditionally called St. Peter‘s Chapel after him.

The next year, AD 63, St. Paul, the Apostle, between his two imprisonments, came himself to Britain, on a missionary tour, and built Old St. Paul’s Cathedral in London.
