The grail is a frequent goal for legendary heroes, and it, like the [[Holy Lance]], is rumored to have special healing properties. The Holy Grail was first featured in literature sometime late in the 12th century, when [[Chretien de Troyes]] wrote his poem, ''The Story of the Grail''. While common knowledge describes the grail as a [[chalice]] or cup of sorts, in reality, it was first portrayed as a bowl or dish.
