Q.  The King Arthur legends tell of a time in the early history of England when a belief in magic was supplanted by a belief in Christianity. What elements do you find of both magic and religion in this legend?

A.  I think the Holy Grail is both.  It's located in Castle Corbenic. There they saw a vision in where Joseph of Arimathea appeared as a priest. Angels brought in the Grail and the bloody spear that had pierced Christ's side during the Crucifixion. A child appeared above the Grail and changed into bread. Then Christ emerged from the cup and gave Communion to the men. The vision was meant to prove that, in the Mass, the bread and wine are changed into the body and blood of Christ.
