It wasn’t his cup.

I used to work as a tour guide to Christian religious sites, in Israel, so oddly enough I am very familiar with this.

The Holy Grail was (allegedly) the Seder cup of Joseph of Arithmea.

By all historical accounts, he was quite wealthy, and his Seder cup would have undoubtedly been a fine piece, probably silver.

thanks Jewbacca,

>>”The Holy Grail was (allegedly) the Seder cup of Joseph of Arithmea.”

So we could have a theory for both a simple cup and an expensive one.

I think we’d need to go more into the research and evidence used here.

Thank you for that interesting information on a Seder cup.
