Structured around an imposing knot with a relief decoration of thorns, this chalice was the receptacle of transubstantiation, this great Christian Mystery that is constantly renewed.
The diameter of its base, like that of the paten, refers us to the apostles with its 12 cm. Height 15 cm – 850 grams with paten.
The paten is also silver with some dents, its Latin phrase is an invitation: "and I will make us all a single sacrifice with Christ" Reference 155
