TIL- The Famous Dan Brown Conspiracy Theories Or Is It Just Theories?
Who wouldn't know Dan Brown?
Angels & Demon and the The Vinci Code?
Do you know the Secret of the Holy Grail that discussed in the Book 'The Vinci Code'?
Usually in Holy Mass Catholics they would raise this so-called Holly Grail and inside this Grail is the Chalice which they refer as the blood of Jesus.
But of course people will think of it so hard until they will seek an answer is that what Jesus really meant? Take a look at the picture I posted with this. It was painted by Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Leonardo we all know. Look at the left corner beside Jesus. That supposedly occupied by apostle John; the most love apostle of Jesus. But how come that wasn't John, that's Mary, (Not Jesus's mother but the famous Mary Magdalene!
Teabing (one of the Characters in the The Vinci Code) says the absence of a chalice in Leonardo's painting means Leonardo knew that Mary Magdalene was the actual Holy Grail and the bearer of Jesus' blood. He explains that this idea is supported by the shape of the letter "V" that is formed by the bodily positions of Jesus and Mary, as "V" is the symbol for the sacred feminine.
The absence of the Apostle John in the painting is explained by knowing that John is also referred to as "the Disciple Jesus loved", which would be a code for Mary Magdalene. The book also notes that the color scheme of their garments are inverted: Jesus wears a red tunic with royal blue cloak; Mary Magdalene wears the opposite.
Confusing isn't it ? Here's some Key point to support.
According to the novel, the secrets of the Holy Grail, as kept by the Priory of Sion(This Sion no longer exist they were the protectors of the bloodline of Morovingian Dynastsy so it wont go out, but failed because the secret is revealed by The Vinci Code the secret of Holy Grail) , are as follows:
•The Holy Grail is not a physical chalice, but a woman, namely Mary Magdalene, who carried the bloodline of Christ.
The Old French expression for the Holy Grail, San gréal, actually is a play on Sang réal, which literally means "royal blood" in Old French.
•The Grail relics consist of the documents that testify to the bloodline, as well as the actual bones of Mary Magdalene.
•The Grail relics of Mary Magdalene were hidden by the Priory of Sion in a secret crypt, perhaps beneath Rosslyn Chapel.
•The Church has suppressed the truth about Mary Magdalene and the Jesus bloodline for 2000 years. This is principally because they fear the power of the sacred feminine in and of itself and because this would challenge the primacy of Saint Peter as an apostle.
•Mary Magdalene was of royal descent (through the Jewish House of Benjamin) and was the wife of Jesus, of the House of David. That she was a prostitute was slander invented by the Church to obscure their true relationship. At the time of the Crucifixion, she was pregnant. After the Crucifixion, she fled to Gaul, where she was sheltered by the Jews of Marseille. She gave birth to a daughter, named Sarah. The bloodline of Jesus and Mary Magdalene became the Merovingian dynasty of France.
•The existence of the bloodline was the secret that was contained in the documents discovered by the Crusaders after they conquered Jerusalem in 1099 (see Kingdom of Jerusalem). The Priory of Sion and the Knights Templar were organized to keep the secret.
The secrets of the Grail are connected, according to the novel, to Leonardo da Vinci's work as follows:
•Leonardo was a member of the Priory of Sion and knew the secret of the Grail. The secret is in fact revealed in The Last Supper, in which no actual chalice is present at the table. The figure seated next to Christ is not a man, but a woman, his wife Mary Magdalene. Most reproductions of the work are from a later alteration that obscured her obvious female characteristics.
•The androgyny of the Mona Lisa reflects the sacred union of male and female implied in the holy union of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Such parity between the cosmic forces of masculine and feminine has long been a deep threat to the established power of the Church. The name "Mona Lisa" is actually an anagram for "Amon L'Isa", referring to the father and mother gods of Ancient Egyptian religion (namely Amun and Isis).
