[Gocamino] grail etymology

[Kathy Gower]

Hi Paul..and how is New Orleans?

Sorry about my spelling...my keys stick...Parzifal, also spelled Perceval..

a legend circa 1180-1190 about knights and supposedly the first story (a 
romance) written about the Holy Grail whch held the blood of Christ caught 
in a vessel (?) by Joseph of Arimethea....

Wolfram von Eschenbach, Cretien de Troyes and others passed the story of a 
Grail Castle and a simple knight who stumbled upon it ...a quest, to which 
Parcifal did not ask the question, "what ails thee" of the Fisher King...and 
was doomed or fated to adventure ... a story told by troubadors as they 
entertained kings and pilgrims alike...

Do you know it or want to know more?

<snipo...>  These chuches are located somewhat off the pilgrimage path,
in the region of Andorra, but the research is compelling regading the
Parcifal legend carried by the French troubadors.


O.K.,   What is the Parcifal legend???
