The Grail of the Last Supper

The Grail of the Last Supper

"This is the cup of my blood. It shall be shed for you and for all, so that sins may be forgiven..."

 

 

Used by Jesus Christ in the Cenacle of Jerusalem. Rescued from Jerusalem by St Peter. Used as Papal chalice by 24 Popes of Rome. Rescued from the Roman Catacombs by St Laurentze. Hidden in a farmhouse for 3 centuries, in monasteries, chapels and cathedrals of Aragon (South Pyrenees) for 1000 years. Disputed by monks, kings, archbishops, emirs... Lauded by poets, writers, composers ... Tried to get by Fürers, Marxists, Freemasons...        It is the Holy Grail, today custodied in the 'Santa Catedral de Valencia' (Spain).

This Chalice is the only admited as Holy for Christian world. Venerable Pope John XXIII awarded indulgences to people making pilgrimage to the Chapel del Santo Caliz in Valencia . Pope Pio XII awarded "Sacram Communionen" to this Chapel where the Holy Grail is present. On 1966 March12, The Cofradia del Santo Caliz was established in Valencia, its rules are in the Vatican, and the head office in Cathedral of Valencia. This Cofradia is able to award 'Caballero' or 'Dama' del Holy Grail to Christians willing to fulfill these rules. There are Caballeros del Santo Caliz in a lot of nations of the world. His Holiness Pope John Paul II is Caballero de Honor Perpetuo.

A little confusing because this looks entirely different. Hmmmm.

The "Grail" is the plain-looking top, cup. The bejeweled gold section holding it is not part of the "original" but a stand made to hold it.

"Tried to get by Fürers, Marxists, Freemasons..."

When those last words were writen, I am wondering if this Holy Grail is the basis for one of the famous "Indiana Jones" movies which covered the search for the "Holy Grail". Just a thought.
