So it does look like one of the movie props from Indiana Jones…
But THE Holy Grail, really ???
If you believe these are THE END TIMES, I guess it could be a SIGN.

Didn't "the Last Supper" takes place in an inn?

It wouldve been the First Centurey equivalent of the Tastee Diner, or a Denny's. A blue collar greasy spoon.


Any cup used by a customer would be standard issue ware of the time. Not some jewel encrusted goblet custom made for kings ( how its always imagined).

One of the many possible 'holy grails' displayed on some cable show (the History Channel, or something) actually was a rather plain and unadorned ancient looking off white little goblet that looked alot like what I always imagined "the Holy Grail" ( ie the last thing a Judean carpenter wouldve taken a sip from while dinning with his buddies in a greasy spoon) to actually look like. Not that I believe it, nor any extant artifact, is "the Holy Grail". But if there were one thats what it would look like.

I'm still going with the theory that The Holy Grail was never a real cup, but a metaphor for Jesus' bloodline surviving in living offspring.
