小編: 183Is Rosslyn the way to the Grail?
Rosslyn Chapel has been a place where people have sought to find secrets for hundreds of years amid the strange engravings and mystic symbols that cover almost every archway with numeric precision. People gather in droves looking for inspiration amid the stone and stained glass windows.
For hundreds of years people have waited in this chapel expectantly but up until the Da Vinci Code became a blockbuster hit in screens around the world nothing had been revealed.
Now the film has shone a spotlight on the chapel and flocks gather waiting again. Will the weight of expectation produce anything to remark upon or will the masses be disappointed once again when nothing fails to materialise? Do you have an opinion on the religious significance of the chapel or an opinion on what drives people to flock to symbols in this way?
Rosslyn hit by Grail diggers
FANS of The Da Vinci Code have been trying to dig their way into Rosslyn Chapel's ancient vaults to find the Holy Grail.
Visitor numbers at the Midlothian church have soared by 72 per cent since 2004 on the back of the success of Dan Brown's novel, which draws on theories linking the chapel with the holy relic.
A film version of The Da Vinci Code was released last week and quickly rocketed to the top of cinema listings nationwide.
Iain Grimstone, Rosslyn's visitor services manager, told visitors to the church recently: "We have had them inside the chapel trying to get into the vaults.
"There are people who think the Holy Grail is hidden underneath Rosslyn."
He added: "We've also caught them trying to dig their way in from outside."

幾百年來,無數(shù)人前來羅斯林教堂探秘,但在重鎊炸彈般的電影《達(dá)芬奇密碼》風(fēng)靡全球之前,人們?nèi)砸粺o所獲。
如今這部電影使得人們的焦點(diǎn)又集中到這座古老的教堂上,大批探秘者再一次蜂擁而至。人們期盼的力量能產(chǎn)生出人們所希冀的結(jié)果嗎?還是徒勞無功的事實(shí)會(huì)再一次讓他們失望?你對(duì)這所教堂所具備的宗教意義有何看法嗎?你知道是什么力量驅(qū)使人們以這種方式在這里探詢符號(hào)的含義呢?
羅斯林教堂深受探秘者的困擾
《達(dá)芬奇密碼》迷們一直希望通過羅斯林教堂的古老地下室而找到圣杯。
丹布朗所著的《達(dá)芬奇密碼》揭示最關(guān)鍵的圣杯秘密,是藏于蘇格蘭愛丁堡附近的羅斯林教堂(Rosslyn Chapel)。這本書的面世,使得中洛錫安教堂的游客自2004年來急劇上升了72個(gè)百分點(diǎn)。
由《達(dá)芬奇密碼》改編的電影上周正式上映,并且很快躍至全國(guó)各大影院的排行榜首。
Iain Grimstone,羅斯林教堂游客服務(wù)部經(jīng)理,近期告訴游客:“我們發(fā)現(xiàn)有些游客試圖在教堂內(nèi)找到去往地下室的通道”,“有人認(rèn)為圣杯藏于羅斯林教堂的地下室。”他還說,“我們已經(jīng)抓住一些游客,他們?cè)噲D從教堂外部挖出一條通往地下室的通道?!?
