The history of the Holy Grail and the Grail Knights is taking place in the times before and after King Arthur. The grail is a very important symbol for religion. The Holy Grail is said still not to be found. There are many stories on this Grail. People have worshiped and helped it grab more attention. There have been many movies about the Grail and the Grail Knights, one of is Indiana Jones And the last Crusade. This movie is fictional but tells the story of the search of the grail and at the end meeting a Grail Knight  The Holy Grail was used by Jesus Christ during the Last Supper. After the Last Supper we know that Jesus was crucified. The Grail was given to Joseph (St. Joseph of Arimathea). He later used it to collect the blood and sweat from Jesus, while Jesus’ father was cleaning the wounds. During Jesus’ burial Joseph stayed with him locked in a tomb with no food or water. It is said that while Joseph was I the tomb for three days the grail provided him with food and drink .

After Jesus ascended Joseph and his family traveled looking for new land, they took the grail with them. Then the Grail was taken and put into safe keeping in a castle with two Knights at constant watch, the knights were always the descendents of josephs daughter and her husband. Thousand of years later the location was forgotten. At the court of King Arthur the round table all agreed to find the Grail and not come back to the kingdom with out it. But the only man that was aid to be able to find it was a descendent of Joseph witch was Galahad. This quest started when Sir Gwain said “for twelve months and a day I will seek the grail and not return till I have seen it”. When the men came to the place of the grail, after a long hard journey, only Lancelot wasn’t allowed to enter because the king of that land did not like him. Sir Galahad found the Grail and was raised up to heaven with the grail in his hand.
