For all its fame, the Holy Grail remains shrouded in mystery. What exactly was it? Could
it have survived to this day? Why has it inspired so many treasure seekers? To Christians, it is the holiest of objects, the cup
from which Jesus drank at the Last Supper, also believed to be the chalice that Joseph of Arimathea used to catch Christ's blood
as he died on the cross. Though now thought of as a goblet, the actual word "grail" comes to us from the Latin word
gradalis--a flat dish or shallow vessel brought to the table during various courses of a meal. The story itself did not originate
until medieval times, when it helped inflame the Crusaders' quest. Host and adventurer Josh Bernstein follows the Grail's trail
from Holy Land to medieval French castles to a dark chapter in the Nazi saga, when Hitler financed a search for the Grail to unite
a secret society of knights. On the way, Josh learns its true meaning and power.
