The Holy Chalice of the Lord's SupperThe Veneration of the Holy Grail
Tradition tells us that it is the same cup that the Lord used at the Last Supper. Both the Royal Brotherhood and the Confraternity of the Holy Chalice promote the worship of Jesus Christ, High and Eternal Priest, through the veneration of the sacred vessel in which He sacramentally delivered his redeeming blood at the Last Supper.
