The Holy Grail is supposedly the cup from which Christ drank at the Last Supper. It is considered to be extremely powerful and many quests took place to try and find it. The Grail is alluded to twice in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In The Harsh Light of Day, Giles said the Gem of Amarrah is the “vampire equivalent of the Holy Grail.” In End of Days, Spike called the Slayer scythe the “Holy Grail or the holy hand grenade or whatever the hell that is.” The “holy hand grenade” is what the knights throw at the killer rabbit in the movie Monty Python’s Holy Grail.

how can the gem of Amarrah be the vampiric equivilent of the holy grail? was it used by, i dunno, the master or something? or does it mean that there has been alot of quests to try and obtain it?
