The Da Vinci Code - Ab Initio
















It was the year 2006 when the clouds regarding the release of the blockbuster movie the da Vinci code darkened. The world Witnessed a plethora of massive protests from the Catholics all over the world.. And in the end there was a storm. Storm so Powerful that it threatened to shake the very foundation of the Church and amidst the increasing number of young atheist the Controversy acted as a catalyst. Why not a controversy? After All the Jesus’ divinity and sanctity was in question.... Faith in The divinity and the sanctimonia was questioned.... not The question Explored around "the omnipresent and omnipotent God"....

The movie was based on the best selling novel the Da Vinci code by Dan brown. In this novel the author claims the existence of the legend of the Holy Grail. Holy Grail as we all know depicts a cup or chalice. Which Leonardo da Vinci is most presumably had drawn in the famous painting of the last supper. And also what is stated In Brown's novel, the "Da Vinci code" refers to cryptic messages supposedly incorporated by Leonardo Da Vinci into his artwork.

The main emphasis is laid upon :

· Leonardo da Vinci (as the name of the movie already explains) and his paintings the last supper specially.
· Priory of Sion
· Opus Dei
· Sangraal or rather Sangreal(the Holy Blood and the Holy Grail)

The book and the movie also give a very illustrative insight to the Knights’ Templar and their association, the Crusades and the baptism of the Constantine...
