Rosslyn Chapel Explored - Part 2

Rosslyn Chapel Explored - part 2 "The WHAT in YOU"Rosslyn Chapel in Midlothian, Scotland was founded in 1446, and legend has it that its founder, William St. Clair, was a descendent of the Knights Templars, who had been given refuge in the century previous when the warrior-monastic order was being horribly persecuted all over Europe by the jealous Catholic Church and kings. The Templar refugees were given asylum because in Scotland's war of independence against the English, the Knights Templars had helped Robert the Bruce reclaim his kingdom. It was because of this special relationship between Scotland and the Templar tradition that Freemasonry, an off-shoot of the Order's affiliation with Rosicrucianism, first began in Scotland before it was established in England. Rosslyn Chapel stands as a monument to the roots of Freemasonry in Britain.Another of the attractions of Rosslyn Chapel, is the belief that it contains a great secret, a mysterious source of power, capable of transforming all our lives, a Holy Relic purloined by the Knights Templars when they were in the Coalition of Crusaders, in their attempted conquests of Muslim held Palestine. Many believe the Sacred Relic, hidden somewhere within or beneath the Rosslyn Chapel, is the drinking vessel of the Sacrificed Christ, the Holy Grail. Some people think that the "Holy Grail" which the Rosslyn Chapel contains is the actual de-capitated head of Jesus Christ. Nabil Shaban thinks it more likely to be the head of King Arthur, who was not a king, but a 5th century war chief of Scots, who had been fighting a campaign against the ever-encroaching Anglo-Saxons.The video footage in this film was shot by Marcela Krystkova and Nabil Shaban, on a visit to Rosslyn Chapel in 2005. The soundtrack consists of "The WHAT in YOU" (2003), by Nabil Shaban, which is available as a "Downloadable" from iTunes. Just search for "Nabil Shaban" and his album, "From Little Acorns". The words of "The WHAT in YOU" can be found in Nabil Shaban's book "DREAMS MY FATHER SOLD ME" (2005).
