The Holy Grail and the Knights of St. Sergius of Ghassan

The Holy Grail and the Knights of St. Sergius of Ghassan;

The Holy Grail is a symbol of medieval Christian clandestine groups, with many legends about it and attributed to the miraculous powers that Jesus used at the Last Supper. The sources discussed in the history of the Holy Grail legend focused on Britain during the Crusades, , But the roots of this myth beyond that, it goes back to Ghassana.

Ghassanidah founded the first cavalry force in the history of Christianity dedicated to the defense of Christ, and took the martyr martyr Sergius to symbolize it, but it came to raise the Knights of Ghassanne pictures of St. Sergius in their battles.

The first to point out the existence of the equestrian ritual of Ghassanidah is the historian John Asi when he mentioned that al-Mundhir ibn al-Harith al-Ghassani met the commander-in-chief of the Byzantine forces, Justinian Ben-Germain, at the tomb of St. Sergius in Rusafa, seeking peace and fighting the enemies of Christ. It was remarkable that the archaeological diggers find a silver cup with the writings of Syriac dedicated to St. Sergius in the church of the palace of Al-Manzer Ghassani in Rusafa near the tomb of St. Sergius. It was remarkable that the Holy Grail was also the highest of the sacrificial inscription of the House of Martyr Sergius in the village of Sama in Horan, which was established by the Ghassani king Abu Bakr ibn Jiblah.

There is no doubt that the stories of the Ghassanid knights fighting for the Messiah inspired the equestrian knights of Europe during the Crusades, especially since Mundhir Ghassani probably made an agreement with Pope Gregory the Great around the year 600 AD when he was being held in a Byzantine fortress on a Sicilian island.
