Title: pub raided in search for stolen holy grail Post by: galoshers on August 08, 2014, 09:06:03 PM Police in the UK have raided a village pub searching for a stolen relic believed to be the Holy Grail – the cup Jesus is said to have drunk from at the Last Supper.
The object in question is the Nanteos Cup, a wooden relic which some believe to be the Holy Grail. It is said to have been brought to Britain by Joseph of Arimathea before ending up at a stately home in Wales, where visitors would drink from it. Last month, it was reported that the cup had been stolen from a house in Herefordshire. After receiving ‘intelligence’ that the cup had been seen in a local pub, a team of eight officers and a police dog arrived at the Crown Inn on Sunday morning. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/british-police-raid-village-pub-search-holy-grail-164900895.html#RcVknUT Title: Re: pub raided in search for stolen holy grail Post by: david995 on August 08, 2014, 09:26:25 PM Thats interesting , as a side note i have a field on one of my permisions called maes y cwpan cymun which means field of the chalice , believe me when i say iv'e given it a right good going over !!

not sure it related to the holy grail , but just to a chalice as the field has been named like this ( the field of the chalice ) for a very long time. and there is some serious history to the other fields around this field back to the templers etc |
