| Commentaires : | The chalice is the cup in which the wine and water of the Eucharistic Sacrifice is contained. It is usually made either of gold or of silver. The base may be round, hexagonal, or octagonal, and should be so wide that there is no fear of the chalice tilting over. Near the middle of the stem, between the base and the cup, there should be a knob, in order that the chalice, especially after the Consecration, when the priest has his thumb and index finger joined together may be easily handled. Often this knob is adorned with precious stones. The base and cup may be embellished with pictures or emblems, even in relief, but those on the cup should be about an inch below the lip of the chalice. The cup should be narrow at the bottom, and become gradually wider as it approaches the mouth. It should be at least eight inches in height. (From "Catholic Encyclopedia") |
