Looking for the Holy Grail

The Crypt of the Rosslyn Chapel is said to lead to a further, larger Crypt containing the Holy Grail, the Treasure of the Knights Templar, and the mummified head of Our Lord.
No Photography Allowed, the sign indicated, but the silent, flashless, stealth iPhone is an excellent tool in these circumstances.
Once I looked at this hurried image…it revealed, in the shadows, a hidden door to a further chamber. I slipped through this, and was able to retrieve the Holy Grail. It now takes pride of place at the centre of my new IKEA dining table.

A sneaky photo for World Photography Day. Don't forget to polish the Holy Grail before you display it ... and the IKEA table, too.

I shall take your advice, though I don’t know where I’m going to find the right polish.

Thanks Bill. All the stained glass in the Chapel is modern - 19th, 20th Century, but it is a wonderful addition.

großartig mit den Silhouetten und den reduzierten Farben
und bemerkenswert sauber ausgerichtet (sicher nicht einfach bei einer heimlichen Aufnahme)

Sehr schöne Aufnahme in einem wundervollen Licht.
Derjenige der den heiligen Gral findet, darf ihn auch behalten.

Hahaha. We needed some humor in the group. Glad the grail finally has a sturdy resting place. *wink*

Such eerie lighting! Very impressed with your quick snapshot ability.

What draws you to chapels? Religion? History? Architecture? Free holy grails? (I'm always fascinated by the architecture and history.)

Happy World Photography Day!
