The Holy Grail is the dish or cup that Jesus used at the Last Supper, a very important even in The Bible.
Many, many people have devoted their lives searching for it, and some people believe it holds special powers.

Ethel is right but there are other interpretations. See this link which also touches on the davinci code -

In short the popular idea that the holy grail is a cup or chalice is challanged by the story in the DaVinci Code but please remember that it is found at book shops in the 'fiction' section.

Well if you are referring to the Da Vinci code as in the work of fiction by Dan Brown, then the Holy Grail that he pertains to primarily refers to the 'royal bloodline' i.e. descendants of Jesus, who miraculously, happen to be the hero & heroine of the story. Can you imgaine that?! Sorry if I spoilt the story.
During the times of the crusade, many adventurers believed that the grail was the cup used at the last supper. Often being envisaged as a great solid silver bejewelled chalice, which is highly unlikely for a peasants crockery collection in the middle east in the 1st Century.
Many stories tell of adventurers se\rching for their own grail, which are the version I prefer to believe in, and these are the tails of those who seek true meaning to thier own life - not a physical object. There are thousands of these stories, each single one is better than the Dan Brown nonsense. But to have an opiniohn, you might as well have a read of it and form your own.
