It was said that the Grail could give to whomever drank from it eternal life. The cup was then entrusted to Joseph of Arimathea, who had caught the blood as Christ was removed from the cross. It was also used to catch Christ's blood at his crucifixion, after the Spear of Longinus pierced his side. The Holy Grail was believed to be the cup that Jesus Christ, the son of God, used during the Last Supper. However, such a prize came with a catch: the Grail was required to stay within its resting place and any attempts to take the Grail beyond the temple's boundaries would result in the destruction of the site.Ĭontrary to popular belief, which held that the cup of the King of Kings would naturally be a fabulous golden chalice encrusted with jewels and inlaid with silver, it actually took on the misguiding appearance of a simple, worn, and very battered clay cup. Anyone who continuously drank water from the True Grail would be granted eternal life.

The Grail gave water extraordinary powers, as water drunken or applied to a person's skin could rejuvenate their body and heal serious injuries, such as fatal gunshot wounds. The Holy Grail was an artifact said to have supernatural powers, specifically the ability to grant immortality and was tied to the story of Jesus Christ and later connected to Arthurian legend.
