Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the secret of the Grail?' So intoned a heavenly voice to Sir Percival in John Boorman's stylish and influential film 'Excalibur' (1981). The sacred allure of the Holy Grail has fascinated writers and ensnared knights for over a thousand years. From Malory to Monty Python, the eternal chalice - said to be the very cup from which Christ drank at the Last Supper - has the richest associations of any icon in British myth. Many different meanings have been devised for the Grail, which has been linked to the Celts and King Arthur, the eucharistic rites of Eastern Christianity, ancient mystery religions, Jungian archetypes, dualist heresies, Templar treasure and even the alleged descendants of Christ himself and Mary Magdalene. The common thread running through all these stories is the assumption that the Grail legend has a single source with a meaning that - if only we could decode it - is concealed in the romances themselves. That meaning has become the subject of coded, secret documents and is the central feature of a vast conspiracy supposedly stretching back to the dawn of western civilization. Juliette Wood here reveals the elusive and embedded significance of the Grail story in popular consciousness - as myth, medieval romance, tangible holy relic and finally as the centre of an esoteric theory of global conspiracy. The author shows how various interpretations of the Grail, over the centuries, reflect changing cultural needs and desires. Her book will enthral those who, like Sir Percival, seek to unlock the mysterious secrets of western mythology's most extraordinary and tantalising enigma, and will delight students of history, myth and religion alike.

Book Synopsis The Chalice of Magdalene by : Graham Phillips
Download or read book The Chalice of Magdalene written by Graham Phillips and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2004-01-30 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reveals the discovery of an artifact that many experts believe may be the Holy Grail • Traces the journey of the Grail from the Holy Land to Rome and eventually to a ruined chapel in Shropshire, England • Uncovers new evidence identifying the historical King Arthur and his connection to the Holy Grail The popular Arthurian stories of the Middle Ages depict the Holy Grail as Christ’s cup from the Last Supper, which was believed to have been endowed with miraculous healing powers and the ability to give eternal life to whoever drank from it. A much earlier tradition, however, claimed the Grail was the vessel used by Mary Magdalene to collect Christ’s blood when he appeared to her after rising from the tomb. While many vessels were claimed to have been the true Grail, there was only one thought to have been the chalice used by Mary. From Jesus’ empty tomb, where it remained for almost 400 years, this holy relic known as the Marian Chalice was taken to Rome by the mother of the first Christian emperor, Constantine the Great. It was then smuggled from Rome in 410 A.D., according to the fifth-century historian Olympiodorus, to save it from the barbarians who sacked the city. Well into the Middle Ages legend persisted that it had been taken to safety in Britain, the last outpost of Roman civilization in Western Europe. This journey to England, and what happened to the Chalice there, is the focus of this book. Graham Phillips’s research uncovers the secret legacy of an ancient noble family over generations and a trail of clues hidden in the English countryside that lead to a mysterious grotto, a forgotten attic, and the lost chalice. In tracing the relic, Phillips offers the inside story behind an astonishing adventure that results in the identification of the historical King Arthur and the location of one of the most powerful symbols in Western tradition.

Book excerpt: 890 AD France. The last imperial heir of Charlemagne is dead, and every duke is proclaiming himself king. Egilolf, a former soldier, could care less. He needs to steal bones. A saint's bones. With the prospect of a large payout, he recruits the scribe Aristeus, a refugee fleeing Viking invasions. Perhaps he should have told his new companion the true reason he's pilfering saints. Together the thief and scribe must dodge bandits, Vikings, and warring lords-not to mention their own lies-only to find unearthing bones the easiest step. Yet Egilolf's fiercest battle is the one within. How can defending the weak be just, when God abandons him when he has to kill? And when Vikings become more than a faceless enemy to Aristeus, will he, like the ancient martyrs he's always extolling, risk death to convert them?

Book Synopsis 54 Years That Changed the Catholic Church by : Pope Michael
Download or read book 54 Years That Changed the Catholic Church written by Pope Michael and published by Christ the King Library. This book was released on 2011-04-04 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What should Catholics think about the New Rite of the Mass in the language of the people? What should we think about the Latin Mass now being granted by Benedict XVI, following in the foot steps of John Paul II? What should we think about the assembly in Assisi, which is justified by the Vatican II? Do Moslems worship the same God as Catholics? In 1958 the Catholic Church had not been plagued with an Antipope for over a half a millennium. And then Pope Pius XII died and Angelo Roncalli took the name and number of the claimants to the papacy from the Western Schism, John XXIII. Like the first John XXIII, this John XXIII also called for a Council. The first John XXIII resigned in favor of the new election at the Council of Constance, which led to the end of the Western Schism. This John XXIII called for a Council in the Vatican that led to the Great Apostasy, as prophesied in Sacred Scripture. Soon the New World Order had a New Mass and New Sacraments to go along with the New Theology of the Second Vatican Council also called Vatican II. Soon the altars in Catholic churches were replaced with tables and the priest became the President of the Assembly on his throne where once the holy altar stood. What were Catholics to do? An Archbishop rose up and called these New Sacramental Rites bastards and Catholics rallied around him, but were soon dismayed when he compromised with the very bastards who had give us these bastard rites. Another Archbishop rose up and declared the John Paul II an Antipope and began arranging to end the vacancy in the Papacy by consecrating Bishops to call for a Papal Election, but this would not come to pass. Catholics soon began to realize that we were in worse times than the catacombs, for at least in the catacombs there was a Pope huddling with the persecuted Catholics. Now Catholics found themselves without priests who would preach the whole truth of the Faith to them. What was the solution? The second Archbishop actually had the solution, but was betrayed by the very men he consecrated to carry it out. The faithful realized that they could lawfully take the matters into their own hands and began the restoration of the Church in our head, so that the members could rally around the Vicar of Jesus Christ and bring an end to the Great Apostasy. All was done in accord with the teachings of the Catholic Church as found in the Councils, Canon Law and even the basic Catechism all had studied from their youth. Soon the Great Apostasy will end and the universal conversion all of the Fathers of the Church predict will happen after the death of Antichrist will occur. This is the period of peace the Blessed Virgin Mary predicted would soon happen. This book is a must read for any Catholic who wants to make sense of the last half a century of events in the Catholic Church. In addition to discussing the many things that have occurred some key little known documents are reproduced in the Appendices.
