Origins of the Holy Grail
This green mountain is Mont Verdera in
the Pyrenees of Catalonia, high above the Mediterranean. Our decades-long
project
began
at this monastery
because
we realized that the creators of grail romance used its legends to dispute
a basic Church doctrine and celebrate a special event in 849.
This allowed these poets to raise the
Eucharist symbolism to a cosmic dimension
with the phoenix riddle of Hesiod, the "Greek father of didactic poetry" and
contemporary of Homer around 700
BC.
But it takes two other Greeks, Plato
and
Plutarch, to help us lift the ancient veils...
and reveal how the
bishops of Rome
dismiss
the grail mystery
because it replaces their concept of "the above" with an unorthodox alternative!
