It’s 8 June 2025 and it is Pentecost Sunday, that beautiful feast traditionally decorated with liturgical treasures surpassing all others. Some time ago, I saw a movie called News of the World in which years after the Civil War a former confederate officer scratches out a living as a gazetteer. He travels from town to and town and reads aloud stories from different newspapers. People pay a dime .10c a head to listen, which is about $2.50 today. HERE The idea caught my imagination and here I am, a gazetteer.

Thanks for the Holy Grail article details!
The years fly by – 2024 saw the 20th anniversary of Janice Bennett’s St. Laurence and the Holy Grail: The Story of the Holy Chalice of Valencia (2004) – and the 21st of Michael Hesemann’s Entdeckung des Heiligen Grals (2003) – which, as far as I can tell, has never yet been translated into English – but both seem to be still available (including second-hand, if various Amazon branches are anything to go by). Chasing around various language Wikipedia articles turns up assorted other sources in different tongues, such as the curiously phrased “Salvador Antuñano Alea, Truth and Symbolism of Holy Grail: Revelations Surrounding Valencia’s Sacred Chalice (in Spanish, with a prologue by Archbishop Agustin Garcia Gasco of Valencia), 1999” in the English “Holy Chalice” article.
