Teabing’s rationalization, as what Langdon had interpreted Sangreal word by word. Sang
means—blood and Real means—royal. The meaning of Sangreal is Royal Blood. Another reason, Mary Magdalene became the Holy Grail, in addition to being
Christ’s right hand, was a powerful woman already. She was of the House of Benjamin. Mary Magdalene was a royal descent.
The legend of the Holy Grail, has been enriched by so many experts or scholars with different interpretation and symbolism based on different culture and language. As the
principle of conventional symbol which is reflected arbitrary, the Holy Grail is a kind of it.
4. The Rose Line
There it is. Embedded in the gray granite floor, a thin polished strip of brass glistened in the
stone … a golden line slanting across the church’s floor. The line bore graduated markings, like a ruler. It was a gnomon, Silas had been told, a pagan astronomical
device like a sundial. Tourists, scientists, historians, and pagans from around the world came to Saint-Sulfice to gaze upon this famous line.
The Rose Line
Brown 2003:113 The quotation above describes when Silas an albino and member of Opus Dei at
the first time find the line out in Saint Sulfice. That’s the famous line as could be found by tourists, scientists, historians, and pagans from around the world when they visit Saint
Sulfice. The substance of the Rose Line means the Holy Grail’s existence. Many historians and scientist suspected that the keystone of Priory of Sion is in the same place of the Rose
Lin. The secret of the Holy Grail had been kept by the Priory of Sion for years.
Slowly, Silas let his eyes trace the path of the brass strip as it made its way across the floor from his right to left, slanting in front of him at an awkward angle, entirely
at odds with the symmetry of the church. Slicing across the main altar itself, the line looked to a man like a slash wound across a beautiful face. The strip cleaved the
communion rail in two and then crossed the entire width of the church, finally reaching the corner of the north transept, where it arrived at the base of a most
unexpected structure. Brown 2003:113.
The Rose Line is the line brass looked stripped from right to left side. Slanting in
front of him at an awkward angle, entirely at odds with the symmetry of the church. A slash wound across a beautiful face as if Mary’s face that was hurt by the campaign of the earlier
Christianity to deviate her love affair with Jesus. The early Church needed to convince the world that the mortal prophet Jesus was a
divine being. Therefore, any gospels that described earthly aspects of Jesus’ life had to be
omitted from the Bible. But the Priory of Sion still effort hardly to keep the legend of the Holy Grail
and the Rose Line. The Holy Grail ‘neath ancient Roslin waits.
The blade and chalice guarding o’er Her gates. Adorned in masters’ loving art, She lies.
She rests at last beneath the starry skies. Brown 2003:482
That is the clarity of Sauniere’s final revelation. It states that the Holy Grail is in Roslyn Chapel. Roslin, this ancient spelling, according to Langdon, derived from the Rose
Line meridian on which the chapel sat or as Grail academics preferred to believe, from the “Line of Rose”—the ancestral lineage of Mary Magdalene. The subsistence of the Holy
Grail together with the Rose Line’s subsistence might still be looked know and later.
“Heavens no. The end of Days is a legend of paranoid minds. There is nothing in the Priory doctrine that identifies a date at which the Grail should be unveiled. In
fact the Priory has always maintained that the Grail should never be unveiled.”Brown 2003:479
From the statement above, Marie Chauvel Sauniere’s wife clarified that the Holy
Grail never be covered. Finally, Sophie and Langdon did not find out the the Holy Grail,
but Sophie met her grandmother and her brother, they are another bloodlines of Jesus and Mary Magdalene.
Universally, Rose always refers to female or woman. In the context of Rose Line the meaning refers to Mary Magdalene. And the Rose Line categorized as universal symbol.
