For 2000 years successive generations have been gripped by a quest. A quest, championed by King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, for a sacred cup which will provide it’s finder with immortality and total enlightenment. This is the greatest treasure hunt of all, a journey through some of the most historic and mysterious sites in Britain. The Quest for the Holy Grail.

The search for the Holy Grail has taken questers around the world, but one of the most enduring legends tells us that the Grail was brought to Britan by Jesus Christ’s great uncle, Joseph of Arimathea. When Jesus was dying on the cross, Joseph held a bowl to his side, collecting the blood of Christ. After Christ died Joseph was visited by the Archangel Raphael who told him to bring this sacred bowl, this Holy Grail, to the Blessed Isles of the West, Britain. Once here the chalice was said to be hidden in the most holy place in the land. Ever since the search has been on to find the Holy Grail.

The story is shrouded in the mists of legend and the quest continues to this day weaving a spectacular path across some of the most dramatic and mysterious sites in Britain. Glastonbury, where the water flows red from the blood of Christ. Tintagel, birthplace of King Arthur, and home to Merlin. Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland, a sacred treasure trove which closely guards its holy secrets including, possibly, the Holy Grail.

“Quest for the Holy Grail”, is a documentary, from the “World of Mysteries” series.
