: I had just picked up this month's issue of Catholic Digest, when on page seven I was greeted with the photograph of a chalice and it's seven page article on how the cup could very well be the Holy Grail. A beautiful chalice of agate, which has been kept in Valencia, Spain, for the last 1,500 years (though the Cathedral that holds it, of course, is only 700 years old). Supposedly brought there, the magazine says, by early missionaries from Rome. It's very interesting, and whether or not you choose to consider its authenticity, you'll learn a little bit about early Christianity anyway. Find someone who gets CD and check it out!

Sounds interesting. I have to say, watching Indy movies really got me into learning more about the real-life items Dr. Jones has chased. Has anyone read the book "The Sign and the Seal" by Graham Hancock? It's an excellent book about the history of the Ark of the Covenant and where it might be today (Ethiopia sez Graham). His argument for believing this is pretty convincing, but keep in mind that Hancock also wrote a book about how the "face" on Mars was built by an ancient civilization. Well, they can't _all_ be winners!
