THE HOLY GRAIL

THE HOLY GRAIL. According to legend, this is the cup that the Man himself drank out of at the Last Supper. The kind people at the Cathedral told me that St. Peter brought it to Rome, and it was moved around for safekeeping over the centuries until it ended up in Valencia in 1437. The grail itself is the upper portion, very simple, while the ornate lower part was added during the Middle Ages.
