From Wikipedia - Reading time: 1 min

Articles relating to the Holy Grail, a treasure that serves as an important motif in Arthurian literature. Various traditions describe the Holy Grail as a cup, dish, or stone with miraculous powers: providing eternal youth, or sustenance in infinite abundance, often in the custody of the Fisher King. Scholars have long speculated on the origins of the Holy Grail before Chrétien de Troyes, suggesting that it may contain elements of the trope of magical cauldrons from Celtic mythology and later Welsh mythology combined with Christian legend surrounding the Eucharist
