The grail is too obvious of a phylactery. I’ve always thought that it would be one of the crucifixion nails. It would have been on hand (heh) while performing the lich ritual, there’s decoys to make it harder to find and destroy if someone did figure it out, and it’s a common enough item to not seem too out of place wherever it ends up.
The heroes finds lich Jesus’ stash of nails, but only one is the true phylactery. The boldest knight smites that which he believes it to be, but nothing happens. Lich Jesus grins wickedly and incinerates the knight with a blast of unholy fire. He glances coyly at the other heroes, “He chose… poorly.”
