Saint Grail

the Holy Cup or Grail, said to be from Modern Latin gradale, a cup; but supposed by some to be a corruption of the Old French le Sang Real, i. e., the true blood of Christ. This sacred relic, preserved preserved in an emerald cup, is said in legendary history to have been brought to England by Joseph of Arimathea. According to the romantic story of King Arthur it could only be SANHEDRIM discovered by one possessed of perfect virtue; and the "Quest of the St. Grail" by the Knights of the Round Table, of whom the perfect champion, Sir Galahad (in other legends Parsifal), was favored by its discovery, is narrated therein at great length.
