Parsifal and the Search for the Grail Waldorf Education Resources by Charles Kovacs
Parsifal (or Sir Percival) was a Knight of King
Arthur, and his story was told by the troubadours of France and Germany,
notably Chrétien de Troyes and Wolfram von Eschenbach. The Parsifal
story stands between the past age that looked for secrets of the spirit
and the coming age that was going to search for the secrets of matter.
In the Waldorf education curriculum this story is recommended for Class
11 (age 16–17) as a way of introducing world literature and one of the
central problems of our time—the imperative to learn to ask the right
questions.
