Something else was passed on to these European sages, something that, it is true, had had its origin in the Orient but penetrated through the cloud cover and was understood by some individuals. This other mystery, which was linked with the mystery of the bread, was the mystery of the holy vessel in which Joseph of Arimathea had caught the blood flowing down from Christ Jesus. This was the other aspect of the cosmic mystery. Just as the bread was regarded a concentrated extract of the cosmos, so the blood was regarded as the extract of the nature and being of man. In bread and blood—of which wine is merely the outer symbol—this extract expressed itself for these European sages. They had truly stepped forth as if out of the hidden places of the mysteries and towered far above the masses of the European population who could only hear the facts of Palestine, and who, if they advanced to scholarliness, found their way only slowly into the abstract fantasy of Arabism. In these wise men, who distinguished themselves by something that was like the overripe fruit of Oriental wisdom and at the same time the ripest fruit of European perception and feeling, there developed what they called the Mystery of the Grail. But, so they told themselves, the Mystery of the Grail is not to be found on earth.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture V","site_heading":"The Holy Grail Mystery and Europe's Materialistic Turn","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Das war das andere Mysterium, das sich an das Mysterium des Brotes anreihte, das Mysterium von der heiligen Schale, in welcher Joseph von Arimathia aufgesammelt hat das herunterträufelnde Blut des Christus Jesus, das war die andere Seite des Weltengeheimnisses. Wie im Brote zusammengenommen ist alles dasjenige, was der Extrakt des Kosmos ist, so ist im Blute zusammengenommen alles dasjenige, was der Extrakt der menschlichen Natur und Wesenheit ist, in Brot und Blut, wofür ja der Wein nur das äußere Symbolum sein sollte, in Brot und Blut drückte sich das aus für diese europäischen Weisen, die wirklich wie aus geheimnisvollen Mysterienorten sich herausentwickelt hatten, weit hinausragend über das Gros der europäischen Bevölkerung, das nur die Tatsachen von Palästina hören konnte und das, wenn es zur Gelehrsamkeit heranwuchs, nur sich allmählich hineinfand in die abstrakte Phantastik des Arabismus. Bei diesen Menschen, die sich ebenso auszeichneten durch etwas, was wie eine reifste, überreife Frucht orientalischer Weisheit war und zugleich eine reifste Frucht europäischen Empfindens und Fühlens, bei ihnen entwickelte sich dasjenige, was sie nannten das Geheimnis des Grals.
