Jesus Christ

miraculous redemptive revered

Jesus Christ anchors the Holy Grail legend as the historical and religious figure whose blood the chalice caught during crucifixion, doubling as the Last Supper cup. Donovan highlights this in his penthouse, wielding the 12th-century Grail Tablet—quoting John 4:14 on eternal life—to frame the Grail's supernatural power. Indy deciphers the inscription tying Christ's miracle to the relic's promise, thrusting the quest into personal stakes amid Donovan's pitch. This reference elevates the Grail from myth to divine artifact with immortality at its core.
