The mysterious power of the Sacred Line of Archangel Michael.
Crossing Europe from Ireland to Israel, behold the Via Michaelita. Legend has it that Michael himself drew this line with a sword stroke to repel the devil and protect the Christian faith.
One of those nodes on the Line of Michael is Mont-Saint Michel in France. Built by Benedictine monks, this sacred site in the heart of Normandy was directly inspired by Saint Michael. Here, in 709 A.D., Michael appeared to Bishop Aubert, aiding him in a battle with a dragon, and instructing him to build a church on the rock. The monks then built the church over a span of centuries.
Parenthetically, a terrific film which employs Mont-Saint Michel as a backdrop is “Mindwalk” (1990), a thought-expanding metaphysical conversation between a physicist (Liv Ullmann), a politician (Sam Waterston) and a poet (John Heard).

Oscar Delgado Discusses His Movie: “Saint Michael: Meet The Angel”
“HOLY GRAIL”
[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning
From the strangest dream
I was in the biggest army
The world has ever seen
We were marching as one
On the road to the Holy Grail
[Verse 2]
Started out seeking fortune and glory
It's a short song but it's a hell of a story
When you spend your lifetime trying to get your hands
On the Holy Grail
[Verse 3]
But have you heard about the great crusade?
We ran into millions and nobody got paid
Yeah, we raised four corners of the globe
For the Holy Grail
[Verse 4]
All the locals scattered
They were hiding in the snow
We were so far from home
So how were we to know
That there'd be nothing left to plunder
When we stumbled on the Holy Grail?
[Verse 5]
We were full of beans
But we were dying like flies
And those big black birds
They were circling in the sky
And you know what they say?
Yeah, nobody deserves to die
[Bridge]
You know I
I've been searching for an easy way
To escape the cold light of day
I've been high and I've been low
But I got nowhere else to go
[Interlude]
There's nowhere else to go
Oh!
[Verse 6]
I followed orders
God knows where I've been
But I woke up alone
All my wounds were clean
I'm still here
I'm still a fool for the Holy Grail
[Outro]
I am
I'm a fool for the Holy Grail
