The presence of the Holy Chalice in Rome is revealed in the phrase of the Roman Canon mentioned above: \u201cI take this glorious Chalice\u201d,<\/em> hoc praeclarum calicem. An admiring expression that we do not find in other ancient anaphoras, and we cannot forget that the Roman Eucharistic prayer is the Latin version of another one in the Greek language, since this was the language of the Church of Rome until Pope Saint Damasus in the 5th century.<\/p>\n

In order to safeguard the Holy Chalice from the persecution of the Emperor Valerian, Saint Sixtus II, through his deacon Saint Lawrence, native of Spain, sent it to Huesca in the 3rd century.<\/p>\n

The Holy Chalice in Spain<\/h3>\n

During the Muslim invasion, since 713 AD, the chalice was hidden in the Pyrenees region, after having been in Yebra, Siresa, Santa Mar\u00eda de Sasabe (today San Adri\u00e1n), Bailio and, finally, in the monastery of San Juan de la Pe\u00f1a (Huesca), where a\u00a0 document (1071) refers to a\u00a0precious\u00a0chalice made of stone.<\/p>\n
