I always like that the Holy Grail, everyone else was looking for a gold plated and jewel encrusted goblet. But Jesus was a commoner, a humble man, one of the people. The grail was a simple wooden cup.

It was a gilded wooden cup. From outward appearances it looked common but within it was the most precious element which poured forth blood and living water.

Someone on FR pointed out that the Holy Grail was a Seder cup. The custom (or the law) was that the best in the house was to be used. The house Jesus had the last supper in was a rich man’s home. Soooo, in reality the jewel encrusted one was more likely.

I thought; thanks guy you just ruined that scene for me.
