Search for the Holy Grail

Summary In 2014 historian Margarita Torres discovered two Arabic parchments hidden in an Egyptian library. The documents record "The Cup of the Messiah" travelling from Jerusalem to Spain in the year 1055 as a gift to King Ferdinand of Leon. Examining an ornate chalice in Leon that once belonged to King Ferdinand's daughter, archaeologist Julian Henderson reveals that hidden behind the medieval gold embellishment is a simple onyx cup. Margarita Torres argues that this onyx cup is the one held by Jesus. Torres finds evidence to support her theory in a medieval painting of the Last Supper commissioned by King Ferdinand's daughter. The Arabic parchment contains a tantalizing description; it says that the cup arrived in Spain with a piece missing.
