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?------------------ A Knight ther was, and that a worthy man, That fro the tyme that he first bigan, To ryden out, he loved chivalrye, Trouthe and honour, fredom and curteisye. --- The Canterbury Tales

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. http://home.uchicago.edu/~alan/ANTH%20230%201107.doc http://www.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/grlmenu.htm Erik |

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. http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2002/10_october/02/sahara.shtml http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Troy/8725/Tunisia/monathumb.htm Levan

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
