The Holy Grail

S1, E5: For all its fame, the Holy Grail remains shrouded in mystery. Adventurer, sleuth, and Digging for the Truth host Josh Bernstein investigates the power - and disappearance - of Christianity's holiest artifact. What exactly was it? Could it have survived to this day? And why has it inspired so many treasure seekers? To Christians, it is the holiest of objects, the cup of the Last Supper, also believed to have caught the blood of Christ as he died on the cross. But the story itself did not originate until medieval times, when it helped inflame the Crusaders' quest. Josh tracks the history of the Grail from the Holy Land to French castles to the Nazi era, when Hitler sought to tap the power of the relic. On the way, Josh learns the true history and significance of the Holy Grail.
