Hello, all! I know, it's been a long time I've posted here, but that's because I've been at work doing... work. I've rewatched some of the old Monty Python movies, specifically Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I've been wondering, was there EVER a Holy Grail?

Hi toughguy,
I guess your question could be viewed in two ways.
1/ Did Jesus exist and if so did he come into contact with such an object in order for it to be considered holy and worth seeking?
2/ If such an object does exist, would it indeed be somehow holy (and presumably have some power to convey miracles etc.) and worth having?

It mostly comes down to religious belief.
Here are a couple of texts that might help.

On UK BBC television there was an interesting travelogue called "Sahara with Michael Palin".

Last week (13th October 2002) he visited the Tunisian sites used in the "Life of Brian". It was interesting to see how they adapted the fortress of Monastir as the site where Pontius Pilate couldn't produce his R's.

Castle Montsegur in France is said to be the last known residence of the Grail. http://members.rott.chello.nl/tjemmes/montsgr.html http://www.cathares.org/montsegur.html
