First of all the legend of the holy grail was considered heretical by the church at the time which is why some of the stuff may seem reversed.
Howerver the church as a whole arean't fools. which is why if you found such a legendary artifact that you could prove was real they'd find a way to incorperate into their canon in such a way that the populace would hardly realize the chruch was never truly against it.
Also the increase in diplomacy for finding it is simply do to the status part. It may be a bit high, but how many other people can claim to have found a mythical relic?

Don't worry about this event firing too often. Even under the best circumstances for this even to happen it'll only occur ~35 years.

Well, actually both the True Cross and the Spear were "found" during the 1st Crusade. They became holy icons in the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the spear, at least, was used as a holy standard on the battlefield. The spear was lost at either Hattin or when Jerusalem fell (can't remember which offhand.)

Any chance of putting together an event which triggers when Jerusalem falls to a Catholic?

You can script events that will fire while Jerusalem is ruled by a Catholic, but they won't fire right when the province falls, and there's nothing to keep them from firing repeatedly as long as the ruler is a Catholic.
 
You could script it while Jerusalem is under seige.

Anyway i might add those two items as well as the silver platter and the Arc of the Covenant which could also be triggered for jewish.

Really i guess everything here could be triggered for any religion other than pagan in theory, but the origins such as those of the holy grail would generally preclude that.

Actually the spear and the crown were in Constaninople for some time.
In 1063 the crown was finally, in its entirety (ie it was given in pieces), located in Constantinople until it was given to Louis VIII (aka St. Louis) in 1238 along with the tip of the spear. The thorns on it or anywhere else cannot be authenticated by any means to be originals.
The larger portion of the spear seems to also have been brought to Constantinople as well (not 100% sure), but did not go to King Louis VIII. Even if it was, it was lost in 1453 with the sacking of Constantinople by the Turks, that is if it ever was there, which there is evidence documented via pilgrims it was.
As to the cross, i cannot find much after 569 of an entire cross. In 569 it was given to Radegunda, Queen of the Franks by Emperor Justin II, After this, nothing ever is found as a whole and even today there is not enough to make up the entirety of the bulk of the cross, nor that all the peices do not match close enough to all be authentic.
