Montségur: last refuge of the Holy Grail Bashny.Net

In the South of France is the mountain of Montsegur with the castle on top. Here has long been a place of pilgrimage. According to ancient legend, once this plateau was a pagan temple of the Sun and the last refuge of the Cathars, followers of alternative Christian doctrine, which was destroyed during the Albigensian crusade.





The Cathars were sun-worshipers, in their philosophical-spiritual tradition blended Eastern mysticism and Greek wisdom. Them, as heretics, persecuted the clergy and the papal Inquisition. Katara tried to find on the Montségur shelter from persecution, and the ruins of an ancient temple adapted to their worship and rituals. The courtyard of the castle and surrounding walls of the shack was rarely empty. Attracting thousands of believers to hear the preaching of heretics Bishop Gilbert de Castro.In the South of France became more and more adherents of the Qatari opposition and opponents of papal Rome. The king of France and Pope innocent III declared a crusade against the Cathars. The confrontation lasted more than one year. Finally, it was decided the storming of Montsegur. The castle was situated on a steep rock. It can be difficult to penetrate in three ways. And although the papal office came to the decision to erase montségur with the face of the earth, the crusaders have not been able to do anything with the defenders of the fortress. Their six thousand troops is not enough to surround the top. Monchegorska Katara knew the location very well. A lot of them at night, passed through the enemy's barriers. The castle is not felt the lack of water and food.The crusaders helped the betrayal of one of the scouts and interpreters. Night he spent encamped on a plateau. Channeltitle machine relentlessly bombarded the fortress wall and the main tower. The position of the Cathars was getting desperate. And then, by the decision of the community, two of its members — Pierre bonnet and Matheus — together with the guide with the help of ropes came down to the foot. To pass the enemy defenses, they chose the area protected by the natives from these places. In case of detection of them easier to negotiate.But why Katara's so risky? Maybe because I had to carry and hide in a safe place of the legendary vessel of the Grail? According to legend, Joseph of Arimathea collected in this Cup the blood of the crucified Christ, and then to keep it. The vessel allegedly made of a radiant stone that fell to Earth from the crown of the Archangel Lucifer, and represents a big Cup of extraordinary beauty... Joseph of Arimathea took the Grail to the distant country, and centuries later his descendants gave a wonderful vessel in the Abbey of Glastonbury (England).But there is another version according to which one of the keepers of the Cup, Parsifal, who belonged to the brotherhood of the Rosicrucians at the time gave the relic to the Grand master of the order of the Round Table. Many sources indicate that as the ritual symbolism of the Round Table have used the rose and cross — the emblem of the Rosicrucians. It seems that the brotherhood of the Round Table was one of the currents of this order and adopted the ordinances. It is the knights of the Round Table were called keepers of the famous Cup of the Holy Grail.So, "the chain", a vessel has appeared at the Cathar. At different times different people were running in search of the Holy Grail. But it is unlikely that a miracle is a vessel that was given to someone in hand. The author of a mystical poem "the Vision of sir Launfal" James Lowell writes that the Grail is generally invisible to most people: it can see only to the initiated.In March, 1244 Montsegur surrendered. The crusaders entered the castle. Katara gathered in a cohesive group and prayed. They again called on to renounce their beliefs from their faith. They are not staggered. Tied them up and drove to the place of execution 200 metres from the castle. There already was prepared with firewood and straw. Blazed the fire. Alive, not a single "Orthodox". The Inquisition are unable to find the hidden treasure. And not even able to figure out what it was: gold jewelry, precious stones, Holy books, or maybe the mysterious bowl. In one preserved in the South of France the old songs sung: Look at these mountains, However high they Hide from me my Joy. Really do not hint this to the location of the famous vessel?
