The Chalice of Magdalene
The Chalice of Magdalene: The Search for the Cup That Held the Blood of Christ
CHALICE OF MAGDALENE: The Search for the Cup That Held the Blood of Christ by Graham Phillips, TPB from Bear & Co., ISBN 1591430380. The popular Arthur legends of the Middle Ages depict the Holy Grail as Christ's cup from the Last Supper. But a much earlier tradition claimed the Grail was the vessel used by Mary Magdalene to collect Christ's blood when he appeared to her after the resurrection. This book traces the holy relic known as the Marian Chalice from Christ's empty tomb to Rome, to Britain, to the forgotten attic where the treasure was found at last.
