Chén Thánh

/ɡreɪl//ɡreɪl/

The term "Grail" has its origins in Old French as "Greal" or "Greël", which translates to "cup" or "shallow vessel". This is derived from the Latin "Gradalis", meaning "of the steps" or "stairway". In medieval legend, the Holy Grail refers to the cup or vessel said to have been used by Jesus at the Last Supper and then used by Joseph of Arimathea to collect the blood of Christ after the Crucifixion. The term "Grail" gained popularity through the 12th-century story "Perceval, le Conte du Graal" by Chrétien de Troyes, which is considered one of the earliest written references to the Grail. Since then, the term has been used in various contexts, including literature, folklore, and esoteric traditions, often symbolizing spiritual quest or enlightenment.
