Capítulo 42: Chapter 42: The Existence of the Great Holy Grail
The Holy Grail is not a prop filled with blood; it is a great unobservable miracle and a vessel for gathering human aspirations. When it is filled, the Lord's awesome light will overflow.
----------
Generally speaking, in the popular sense, the Holy Grail (san-greal) refers to a glass of wine that was used by Jesus after he sent away Judas Iscariot and the eleven disciples at the Passover meal on the 14th day of the Jewish month of Nisan in the year 33 A.D., the day before the crucifixion of Jesus.
It is said that Jesus took this cup and instructed his disciples to drink the red wine below, symbolizing his blood, thus creating the ritual of crucifixion remembrance.
The traditional view of the Holy Grail has always been that it is a communion cup, and believers generally believe that it has mystical powers, and that if they can find it and drink from it, they will be restored to life, return from the dead, and be granted eternal life, or even have their wishes fulfilled, a legend that is widely perpetuated in many works of literature.
It once held the blood of Christ. The chalice was later brought to England by Joseph of Amazonia, who is believed to have taken it to Glastonbury Castle in the south of England, and since then the whereabouts of the chalice has been a mystery, and legend has it that the cup, or chalice, was also used to hold the blood of Jesus at the time of his crucifixion, although different stories have different characters responsible for collecting the blood, --Some say it was Joseph of Amaziah, some say it was Nicodemus, some say it was Mary Magdalene.
But ---- the Holy Grail War in Winterwood in fact had very little to do with Jesus Christ.

The so-called Holy Grail War is based on the "Ritual of Séance and Spirit Summoning".
Originally, it was a great magic that was used to save the primate world, and when mankind was facing a great threat of destruction, seven spirits at the apex of the seven attribute grades, the grand spirits, would appear to destroy the great disaster that was hindering the development of the primate world, and mankind would be able to save the world.The summoning system that has been downgraded to magic for its own convenience is the Holy Grail War.
About once every sixty years, the spiritual energy in the veins of the city called Fuyuki, located in the Far East, gradually builds up to an amount sufficient to support the descent of the Holy Grail, and the Great Grail, which is rumored to have the power to instantly fulfill any wish, will appear in Fuyuki City.
However, only one group of masters and followers could obtain this power, so an unwritten covenant was made that seven magicians, leading their summoned spirits, would fight a war for the ownership of the Holy Grail, and the victor who survived in the end would obtain the ownership of the Holy Grail - the Holy Grail War of Fuyuki-shi.
However, the prize that the victor of the Holy Grail War receives, the "Holy Grail" that the seven groups of magicians and spirits fight over, forgetting life and death, and which is rumored to have the power to instantly grant any wish, is in essence just a device for keeping the souls of the dead servants.
The "Holy Grail" is a huge ritual system constructed in order to reach the "root", and it is the necessary equipment for the achievement of the third magic that stabilizes the magic channel between the "Great Grail" and the present world.

A long time ago, probably at the end of the 18th century, a group of Westerners set foot on the land of the Far East.
These magicians, who walked in the ways of the extraordinary, chose Japan, a remote and exotic land inaccessible to the surveillance of the Holy Church, which was hostile to magicians at the time, in order to achieve their goals.
Subsequently, they came into contact with the Tohsaka family, a magic family native to Japan, and together they began to carry out their plans.
He or she is working for the relief of all mankind, for the eradication of human evil, or simply for the sake of reaching the root of the problem.
Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern, Matou Zouken, and Nagato Tohsaka. Together, they held and planned a séance called the Holy Grail War.
Their families are also known as the Founding Gosannas.
Among them, the Tohsaka family was responsible for providing the site for the Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family was responsible for constructing the Holy Grail War system, and the Maki family (the Matou family) was responsible for the creation of the Order Spell.
----- Then, the Holy Grail War began.
Other than this one, this magic ceremony had been held a total of three times before.
The first time the Holy Grail War was fought was located around 1810.
It was rumored that Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg also witnessed that war.
Because it was the first time the Holy Grail War was fought, the summoning ceremony was conducted in the form of a "cooperative summoning", but after the Holy Grail opened its connection to the source of magic power, the situation turned into a terrible state of affairs in which Far Osaka, the Einzbern family, and the Maki family competed with each other for the right of exclusive use, and naturally, the outcome ended up in failure.
In short, the Grail Summoning failed completely before it could take the shape of a ritual, due to the fact that there were no formalized rules in place and the awareness of being a "participant" was low; on the other hand, there was no incantation to bind the followers at that time, so the followers disobeyed the orders.
After that, the three great families learned their lesson and concluded the Holy Grail Pact, establishing the original rules that are still in use today, calling other magicians and having them kill each other with the purpose of the Holy Grail.
The Second Holy Grail War began in 1870.
It was already after the Second Industrial Revolution, and in light of the failure of the first ceremony, the Tohsaka family planned out the details of the rules and held the Second Holy Grail War again, and the "Order Spell System" was completed, allowing the masters to use their servants at will.
However,----, due to a number of reasons, the ceremony ended in failure.
The Third Holy Grail War was fought in the 1930s, around the eve of World War II.
This is also the most huge turning point of all the Holy Grail Wars, in that war the Einzberns summoned the extra-specialty rank avenger (avenger) spirit Angora Manuel, but the avenger (avenger) was unexpectedly weak as an ordinary person, in the Holy Grail War did not long after the opening of the fourth day of the easy death, the soul was recycled into the Great Grail, so that the Great Grail was avenged (avenger) contaminated into a black cup.avenger) contaminated into black sludge.
Because of this, the Holy Grail has deteriorated in a decisive and fundamental way. Therefore, the Third Holy Grail War was a "null and void competition", but the result of the event of the "contamination of the Great Grail" had a significant and far-reaching impact.
