Book Review – Da Vinci Code, Brown Dan
Dear All,
This book reveals the most talked about secret in the world on Christanity. It is a brilliant piece of history mixed with fiction.
The book talks about Jesus being actually married to a lady called Mary Magdalene(MM) and had a offspring named ’’Sarah’’ and goes on to say that the lineage continues till today.
There is secret society formed 10 hundred
of years ago to protect the secret of MM and the holy grail which supposedly was used to collect Christ’s blood.
What is more significant in this book is the revealation of the history of Christanity and how the Vatican over the years have intentionally modified it to suit their own purposes.
Interestingly famous people like Netwon, etc and esp Lenonardo Da Vinci (LDC)have believed in MM and were part of the secret society to protect the grail and documents which should have been part of the holy bible. LDC’s drawings of Mona Lisa, the last supper, Madonna of the Rock, Virgin of the Rock reflects his beliefs in a very glaring manner.
I would also like to give a brief history on the holy grail
The myths and stories surrounding the lost Grail are very old–no one can say how old!–but it is assumed that the Grail was the vessel that once contained the blood of Christ. One story insists that the Grail is a cup from which Jesus drank at the Last Supper, the Passover Supper celebrated in the upper room in Jerusalem on the night he was arrested. Another story says it was the cup held aloft by Joseph of Arimathea to catch streams of blood flowing from the wounds of the dying savior.
This book talks about that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married and that their bloodline survived in Western Europe. The word ’’sangraal’’ had, it seems, been misunderstood. When the word was broken after the ’’n’’ (san graal) it was thought to mean ’’Holy Grail’’ but if it was broken after the ’’g’’ it rendered ’’sang raal,’’ which in Old French seems to mean ’’blood royal.’’ We are now faced with a legend that says that Mary Magdalene brought the ’’blood royal’’ to the coast of France in 42 A.D.
One does not carry the ’’blood royal’’ in an ointment jar with a lid. The blood of kings is carried in the veins of a child. And the ’’vessel’’ that once contained the ’’sang raal’’ was not an artifact, but rather, a woman –the Magdalene herself–the mother of a royal offspring.
Suddenly the ’’Grail’’ myth takes on an entirely different shape. No wonder the knights in armor sought in vain for the elusive artifact.
its a very interesting read and the added advantage is that the book is written as a thriller fiction which is very fast moving
I hope the real truth about Christanity to come out some day
A Must Read
