The Holy Grail appears as a golden cup, ornately decorated with images representing the Abrahamic cosmology and the Three Factions, from Heaven (Angels) to the biblical Garden of Eden (Fallen Angels) with the Underworld (Devils) engraved upon the base of the cup.

The Grail gives off a powerful divine energy to the point where it can be mistaken for the divinity of a primordial god.

## History

The Holy Grail was once an ordinary wooden cup used by the Christ in the Last Supper to serve wine in, with him using the blood inside as a representation for their faith toward him and God. Afterward, the same cup was used by Joseph of Arimathea to collect the Christ's sweat and blood from when he was crucified.

When Jesus resurrected and came back to the mortal world in his true form as the Shard of God, all the items associated with him transformed into powerful mythical artifacts and were imbued with immense powers. The cup, being the vessel that captured the blood and sweat of God, transformed into a golden grail with immense powers of the principale of life.

In the late 5th-century, the Holy Grail was taken from its original sealing place in Emmaus and was taken with the Roman army to Rome where it was eventually fell into the hand of Anfortas. Using the power of the Holy Grail, he invaded the land to increase his own authority to the point where his power was comparable to the Tuath Dé, the ancient tribe of gods of the Celtic Pantheon. Later on, the Holy Grail was retrieved by the knight Percival, as told in the Percival-Grail cycle.

The Holy Grail was then used as a template for the creation of the Longinus Sephiroth Graal, which many angels and fallen angels believed to be nothing more than an inferior version of the original artifact.

Sometimes during the Great War, the Holy Grail, along with several of the Arma Christi and other heavenly artifacts, went missing.

## Abilities

The Holy Grail is one of the most powerful Arma Christi, as it was directly used to collect the blood and sweat of Jesus Christ during the Crucifixion. In addition to being the container for the Precious Blood, it also has a multitude of other mythical abilities that allows its wielder to stand at the peak of the supernatural hierarchy.

Along side other Arma Christi, it could be used to summon one of the Archangels. However, this ability had been lost with the events of the Broken Moon, as the Evillious had managed to use it to summon back the Archangel Azrael from her slumber in the Ex-Nihilo.
