I’m not certain that Jesus would have been a Big Fan of.... nor been likely to to have used a Roman Cup.

Reading comprehension helps, unless you’re being intentionally obtuse and ignoring everyone who has pointed you to the relevant statements.

“The documents, written in Arabic, reportedly say that Muslims stole the chalice from Jerusalem and that it was given to Christians in Egypt. Then, they claim it was somehow sent to King Fernando I of Castile as a gift, disguised with jewels and other adornments.”

Regardless of the veracity of the researchers’ claims, if you’d bothered to read anything posted here or acknowledge the several people that pointed out your error, you would have realized that the gold and jewels were added, according to the researchers, a thousand years after the cup was created.

I don’t see how your statements could possibly do anything other than make you appear rather dense.

He may not have been a fan, but he may not have thought of bringing his own cup to the Seder at Passover. He may have just used what was there.

Well.... Unless somehow the traditional utensils for observing the Seder meal included Latin inscriptions back in the first century AD, something I am highly skeptical of, this cup ain't it...

Lest we forget, it was the Passover meal..
