A little history
From Jerusalem to Bailo, from Bailo to Valencia
The Holy Grail’s passage through the Aragonese Pyrenees is recorded in medieval documentation and has been studied by medievalists such as Antonio Durán Gudiol, Alberto Gómez García, Ana Isabel Lapeña and José Luis Corral, whose research has accompanied several editions of the Re-enactment.
Sources place the chalice of the Last Supper in Bailo for much of the 10th and 11th centuries, when the village was a Royal Seat of the emerging Kingdom of Aragón and had its own Royal Chapel.
From Huesca, the Grail passed through the Pyrenean monasteries of Yebra de Basa, San Pedro de Siresa and San Adrián de Sasabe before reaching Bailo. It then travelled to Jaca and San Juan de la Peña, where it remained for more than three hundred years, then on to Zaragoza, Barcelona and finally Valencia, where it is now kept in the cathedral.
