Angels & Demon and the The Vinci Code?

Do you know the Secret of the Holy Grail that discussed in the Book 'The Vinci Code'?
Usually in Holy Mass Catholics they would raise this so-called Holly Grail and inside this Grail is the Chalice which they refer as the blood of Jesus.
But of course people will think of it so hard until they will seek an answer is that what Jesus really meant? Take a look at the picture I posted with this. It was painted by Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Leonardo we all know. Look at the left corner beside Jesus. That supposedly occupied by apostle John; the most love apostle of Jesus. But how come that wasn't John, that's Mary, (Not Jesus's mother but the famous Mary Magdalene!

Teabing (one of the Characters in the The Vinci Code) says the absence of a chalice in Leonardo's painting means Leonardo knew that Mary Magdalene was the actual Holy Grail and the bearer of Jesus' blood. He explains

The book also notes that the color scheme of their garments are inverted: Jesus wears a red tunic with royal blue cloak; Mary Magdalene wears the opposite.

Confusing isn't it ? Here's some Key point to support.

According to the novel, the secrets of the Holy Grail, as kept by the Priory of Sion(This Sion no longer exist they were the protectors of the bloodline of Morovingian Dynastsy so it wont go out, but failed because the secret is revealed by The Vinci Code the secret of Holy Grail) , are as follows:

•The Holy Grail is not a physical chalice, but a woman, namely Mary Magdalene, who carried the bloodline of Christ.
The Old French expression for the Holy Grail, San gréal, actually is a play on Sang réal, which literally means "royal blood" in Old French.

•The Grail relics consist of the documents that testify to the bloodline, as well as the actual bones of Mary

    Analyzing Art Work by Different Artists from Different Periods Art is very important to people especially when it represents spirituality. It adds a strong connection between the artist and the viewers on something they both agree on. Art in the early Renaissance was mostly about spirituality, but as time passes by, artists paid less attention to spirituality, and they started adding other themes to art. I intend to show that The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci, represents the scene of The Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples.

    There is a feeling of connection between the three of them by the way they are all looking at each other and the cross. Although I could find no documentation on this, I feel there is also a symbol of the trinity in the three flowers to Mary's left side. The flowers are very prevalent and are connected to the figures in the painting by having the same color that is in the Virgin's shirt. It is also speculated that the water in the background symbolizes the baptism of Christ by John the Baptist. The fact that Mary is barefoot in the painting indicates that she is walking on holy ground.…

    III. Gugliemites and their Beliefs: “He heard from sister Maifreda di Pirovano and Andrea Saramita,” recalls Francesco da Garbagnate, “that while Guglielma – who was buried in the monastery of Chiaravalle – was alive she said to them that from the year 1262 the body of Christ had not been sacrificed nor consecrated alone, but with the body of the Holy Spirit, which was Guglielma herself.” Whether she meant that she was in fact the incarnation of the Holy Spirit is not easy to ascertain. However, it is clear, that to her followers this would have inspired a very literal meaning. Guglielma’s followers believed that she was the incarnation of the Holy Spirit.…

    The most detailed aspects of Virgin and Child are the creases in Mary’s clothing and her and Jesus’s hair. The facial features and the crown are not clearly defined, but they could potentially just be worn with age. The lines that compose the fabric of her dress are shallow and smooth creating a soft depiction of her clothing. The shadows that these lines allow are faint in most areas, with a pretty even light source on it. There a few spots with darker shadows, but for the most part, they are delicate.…

    It is interesting to note that, included in the set of Suffrages as the very first prayer is an illustration devoted to St. Anne in St. Anne Instructing the Virgin (Fol. 13). It is no accident that the first suffrage in this prayer book is dedicated to the saint with the same name as the patron; certainly, this primary position was deliberately chosen, indicating the particular devotion to this saint that Anne de Bretagne had. The inclusion of St. Anne is not only significant because of the name. As the mother of the Virgin, she is significant, as well, and she, along with the Virgin herself, serves as a model of ideal motherhood towards which Anne de Bretagne could aspire. Thus, this illustration is one of the examples of personalisation,…
