The Legends
of the<\/em> Grail<\/h2>\n

About the Holy Chalice of the Lord’s Supper<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text]\n[\/et_pb_column]\n[et_pb_column type=”1_2″]\n[et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

The theme of the search for the Grail, beautiful object and a source of life, is fundamental in the French-Germanic medieval literature, and its origin is mainly in the works of Chretien de Troyes<\/strong>, who left his work Perceval<\/em> or the The Story of the Grail<\/em> unfinished around 1190; the nature of this jewel is not explained here, and it was Wolfram von Eschenbach<\/strong> who gave it the shape of a chalice in his poem \u201cPerceval el Gal\u00e9s\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

It is believed that he conceived his Parsifal<\/em> at the beginning of the 13th century, in the Wartburg<\/em>, a mythical castle, the birthplace of poets and troubadours; and that he finished it in 1215. There, in this castle, where these Love singers, these Master Singers, whose three main rules, God, his lord and the beloved woman, constituted the source of their inspirations, Wolfram<\/strong> composed his great work. Wolfram von Eschenbach<\/strong> was the prince of the troubadours, the highest figure along with Walter von der Vogelweide<\/strong> and Heinrich Tannh\u00e4user<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Recent research, such as that of Michael Hesemann<\/strong> – \u201cDie Entdeckung des Heiligen Grals. Das Ende einer Suche\u201d, Ed. Pattloch 2003 –<\/em>, place the origin of these legends in Spain and on the basis of the agate chalice of San Juan de la Pe\u00f1a, and we cannot forget that they were\u00a0the source of inspiration for the great poetic-musical works by Richard Wagner<\/strong> \u201cTannh\u00e4user\u201d<\/em>, \u201cParsifal\u201d<\/em> and \u201cLohengrin\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n
