DECLARED TO
BE HOLY GRAIL
By Cable to The Dal»y Gateway.
London, July LIT — An antique glass
vessel found recently near Glastonbury
abbey is declared to be the Holy Grail.
The Holy Grail was one of the lead
1 ing themes of mediaeval romance, fa
bled to have been the cup or chalice
used by Christ in the Last Supper,
and in which he changed the wine into
I blood. This chalice, preserved by
Joseph of Arimathea, had also received
j blood from the side of Christ on the
cross. This is what the apocryphal
gospel of Nicodemus says, but no early
mention of it is made by either
profane or ecclesiastical writers. In
the twelfth century it reappears as the
central subject of the prophecies of
Merlin and the object of the adventur
ous quest of the Knights of the Hound
Table. It was also mixed up with the
struggles of Spain between the Moors
and Christians by romance and was the I
cause for the founding of the Order of j
Templars in Palestine.
