Thread: The Holy Grail, emblem of Divine Grace in physical form, is a cure-all, bringing renewal, hope and promise of Eternal Life! It is the immanent Divine Presence in a sacred object, hidden in our midst, awaiting the seeker of pure heart! #FairytaleTuesday #FolkloreThursday
In Arthurian tales the Grail was the Cup that Jesus drank from at the Last Supper. In it, Joseph of Arimathea caught His holy blood at the Crucifixion; the blood that gives victory over death! When sickness fell upon Land and King, the Knights of Arthur saught its healing power!
Many knights rode forth in the Quest of the Holy Grail. Only the pure-hearted Percival and Galahad were able to see it or hold it! Only those of a motivation unselfish and true can find the Cup of Christ: for the true Grail is the pure heart, emptied of self, filled with love!
Where else in the world does the Grail lie, other than in the pure heart, filled with Divine Grace, the Healing of the world? Some say that Joseph of Arimathea, Jesus' uncle, bore the Grail to Avalon, Glastonbury of the Summer Sea, in England's green and pleasant land!
Some say the Grail went with Mary Magdalen, who the secret Gospels of the Gnostics call Companion, Consort of the Saviour, who He loved 'more than all the disciples'. Some say it is she herself who was the Grail, bearing His child, Sarah, in her womb, and the holy bloodline.
These are tales of the Christian era. But the Grail has precursors in Pagan tales: of old it was the Cauldron of Renewal and Rebirth! The Grail has taken many forms, but always it comes from the Divine, a boon to humanity, healing the wasteland, and sickness of heart and flesh!
It is timely now to reflect and Quest: the Grail is found only through hardship, darkness, sacrifice; the harrowing of hell, the harrowing of self! Times of darkness challenge us to find ourselves: the true Grail is found within. Ever, before we can hold it, we must let it go!
