Are you in Holy Grail Rosslyn Chapel?

The mystery of the Holy Grail is very interesting, but first let's clarify what we mean exactly, or the origin of the story. It is said that when Jesus celebrated the Last Supper with his disciples, all drank wine from the same cup. It is said that the cup was retained by one of them and when Jesus was crucified, used it to pick up some blood. That cup, along with traces of blood have survived over the years hidden somewhere and guarded by generations of Knights Templar ... and some theories place nothing more and nothing less than Rosslyn Chapel and more specifically, within apprentice pillar.

Apprentice Pillar

Undoubtedly, with the technology we have at our disposal in the XXI century, we could not stay with mystery. So a few years ago, they moved some powerful scanners to the chapel to see if something metallic was hiding inside the beautiful column. The results were conclusive: there is no metal inside the pillar. But new speculations made their way quickly: What have sunk into the ground? And if it is within one of the many carvings in stone in the interior of the chapel? What if it turns out is not a metal cup, but is of another material such as marble or wood?

Other sources claim that when speaking of the Holy Grail is not a physical object, but all those legends that arose in France come from a confusion in language. Holy Grail is said in French "San Graal" but what if in fact that was a mistranslation and actually referring to "Sang Real" or Royal Blood? Makes some sense to the above legend, in which the blood of Jesus have been collected with the chalice but many theorists and researchers of this mystery say that the Holy Grail is actually Mary Magdalene, who was pregnant with Jesus and therefore, carried within her womb "royal blood". This second interpretation lends itself much more to the imagination and fantasy stories, so much so that Dan Brown did not think twice to write a book about all that once was turned into a movie by Hollywood: The Da Vinci Code.

Our recommendation is that while Rosslyn Chapel visit, be put off a bit by these and other legends. They may be just old wives tales, but undoubtedly, make the visit that much more fun and get you to look at "El Pilar Apprentice" with different eyes.
