Hawkstone Grailとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Hawkstone Grail is a small stone cup located at Hawkstone Manor in Shropshire, England which is purported to be a Holy Grail by owner Graham Phillips. According to Phillips, archaeologists and historians at the British Museum have identified it as a 1st century Roman scent jar. However, Phillips cautions that this is not the Marian Chalice, the cup that Jesus' apostles reputedly drank from during the Last Supper. The Hawkstone Grail's small size makes it a poor choice for that use. Rather, Phillips believes that this cup could instead have been used to collect a small amount of Jesus' blood as he was dying on the cross or to hold ointments for his body during his internment in the tomb.
