Da Vinci Code is a mystery-detective and a literary-fiction novel by Dan Brown.The central idea of novel is that the Church has enforced ignorance about the existence of the descendants of Jesus .Its all about reality behind Church and art history and also ignores the power of women.The novel is giving reincarnation to the past stories of Jesus's life,the pentacle and the Last Supper. Da Vinci Code has give rise to speculate the Holy Grail legend and Mary Magdalene's role in the history of Chrisianity.The idea that Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene were married and had a child,deciphering the symbols found in many works of art .The whole story revolve around the finding of the murder victim in the Grand Gallery of the Louvre of Jacques Sauniere, naked and posed like Leonardo da Vinci's famous drawing, the Vitruvian Man, with a cryptic message written beside his body and a pentagram drawn on his chest in his own blood.
Harvard Professor Robert Langdon, who visited town on business issue was asked by Police detective Bezu Fache to decode the cryptic message left on murdered body. Last night Louvre ,the keeper of church and Grand Master Jacques Saunière fatally shot one night at the museum by an albino Catholic monk named Silas,who wants the location of the keystone,which will helps in finding the Holy Grail is .Before going to die Sauniere leaves a message i.e he paints a pentacle on his stomach with his own blood, draws a circle with his blood, and drags himself into the center of the circle, re-creating the position of Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man. He also leaves a code, a fibonacci sequence, and two lines of text on the ground in invisible ink.
Sophie Neveu, an agent of the department of cryptology,secretly explains to Langdon that she is Saunière's estranged granddaughter, and that Fache thinks Langdon is the murderer, because her grandfather's message said "PS Find Robert Langdon", which she says Fache had erased prior to Langdon's arrival.But actually according to Neveu, P.S. are the initials of her grandfather’s nickname for her,Princesse Sophie whereas Langdon thinks that P.S. might stand for Priory of Sion,an ancient brotherhood devoted to the preservation of the pagan goddess worship tradition.Langdon decodes the second and third lines in Saunière’s message: “Leonardo Da Vinci! The Mona Lisa!.By this Sophie returns to the paintings to look for another clue. Sophie finds a key behind the Madonna of the Rocks.
She and Langdon escapes from police and move to a safe deposit box at the Paris branch of the Depository Bank of Zurich. In the safe deposit vault they find the keystone: a cryptex, a cylindrical, hand-held vault with five concentric, rotating dials labeled with letters. When these are lined up correctly, they unlock the device. If the cryptex is open forcely, an enclosed vial of vinegar ruptures and dissolves the message inside the cryptex. The cryptex can only be opened with a password.
Langdon went his friend Sir Leigh Teabing, an expert on the Holy Grail ,to ask for his help for opening the box and tell that Grail is not a cup but a tomb having bones of Mary Magdalene. All the three find out that the password is combination of letters "SOFIA" Neveu' name and after Opening the cryptex, they found a smaller cryptex inside it, along with another riddle that ultimately leads to the tomb of Isaac Newton in Westminster Abbey.
All the three flee from the country ,during the flight Neveu reveals the source of her estrangement from her grandfather.Once on arriving home from university, Neveu clandestinely witnesses a spring fertility rite conducted in the secret basement of her grandfather's house. She got shocked to see her grandfather having sex with a woman at the center of a ritual attended by men and women who are wearing masks and chanting praise to the goddess. She flees the house and breaks off all contact with Saunière. Langdon explains that what she witnessed was an ancient ceremony known as "sacred marriage".By the time they arrived they revealed that Teabing is the teacher for whom Silas was working .Teabing gives Langdon the cryptex and asks Langdon and Sophie to help him open it. Langdon figures out that the password is apple. He opens the cryptex and secretly removes its contents before destroying it in front of Teabing. Fache arrested Teabing and came to know that Langdon is innocence .
The final message inside the second keystone revealed that Neveu is a descendant of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. The Priory of Sion hid her identity to protect her from possible threats to her life. Neveu and Langdon find out Neveu's long-lost brother, whom Neveu had been told died as a child in the car accident that killed her parents and also his long-lost grandmother Marie Chauvel Saint Clair.
The meaning of the last message is that the Grail is buried beneath the small pyramid where he is sure the Grail must be hidden.
