tcm: this might not be the Holy Grail, but instead the Holy Shroud. Sam brought up the fact that the metaphor would then make more sense (you know, Christ being the Lamb of God, and all). shearing a Golden Lamb would give you a Golden Fleece; therefore, shearing the Holy Son of God (figuratively speaking, of course) gets you the Holy Shroud.
