2. • The Da Vinci Code has set forth a
theory about Mary Magdalene
and the Holy Grail. One of the
book’s characters says, “Yes, but it
is not I who claim she is the Grail.
Christ Himself made that claim."
The book claims that the grail is
Mary Magdalene, the symbol for
womanhood.
In reality, there is no proof that
Jesus Christ claimed that Mary
Magdalene was the Holy Grail. In
fact, the Bible does not even
mention the words “grail” or
“holy grail.”
3. • According to the book
it is Mary Magdalene
who is the Holy Grail
and whom Da Vinci
painted in his work the
Last Supper.
• The concept of the Holy
Grail comes from a
mythical legend.

5. Da Vinci Code Truth – The Claims:
• Jesus was married to Mary
Magdalene and her womb was the
Holy Grail.
• Teabing states that "Christ Himself
made that claim" that Mary
Magdalene was the Holy Grail. (pg.
242,243)
• Teabing reveals: "the greatest cover-
up in human history. Not only was
Jesus Christ married, but He was a
father. Mary Magdalene was the
Holy Vessel [Holy Grail]. She was the
chalice that bore the royal bloodline
of Jesus Christ. She was the womb
that bore the lineage ..." (p. 249)

Greal”
“Holy
Grail”
“Sang
real”

7. "The quest for the Holy Grail is the quest to kneel before the
bones of Mary Magdalene. A journey to pray at the feet of the
outcast one, the lost sacred feminine." (p. 257)
