Translations:Holy Grail/25/en
Other cultures also have heroes who quest grail-like objects. China, India, Tibet, Egypt, Wales, and Ireland are among the nations which preserve legends paralleling the search for the Holy Cup.[1] The coincidences between sets of legends are striking. These outcroppings of the Grail theme are hard to explain merely as versions of the same story transferred by migration. Rather, they seem to take root, flourish and enthrall civilizations around the world because they are an essential element in man’s nature.
