King Arthur's Grail Vision, 1903

Arthurian legends say that a vision of the Holy Grail appeared at King Arthur's court, inspiring Arthur to send out his knights in search of the true Grail. Only three took up the challenge: Lancelot, Percival, and Galahad. Only Galahad was truly pure of heart and thus he was the only one who was ultimately worthy of reaching the Holy Gail.
