It has 2 meanings that I can think of, and both are closely related. It is supposedly the cup that Jesus drank from at The Last Supper. It is in common usage today as a metaphor to describe a virtually unattainable goal. For example "The Holy Grail of football is the World Cup".
An excellent comedy film from the Monty Python team.
Mary Magdalene
OK sft42 - 3 meanings. But apart from that......
Its a good one to google on...then you will get stuff about parsifal and the grail knights, also other grail symbology
In addition to being the cup that Jesus drank from at the last supper it is supposed to have caught his blood at the bottom of the cross when he was crucified.
Recommend reading the Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown
also known as the bloodline of jesus. (his descendents). pardon the spelling
