What’s ‘Holy Blood’ mean?

To the Editor: 

While the “Holy Blood” graffiti painted near the storefront of the Holy Land Kosher Foods on College Avenue may be a piece of hate graffiti, I do not understand what it means. 

The only information I can find on the Internet refers me to some sort of Christian or quasi-Christian cult having to do with Mary Magdalene and the Holy Grail. Please educate this reader as to the meaning of this graffiti and why it's considered to be a hate message.
