vase sacré de la liturgie chrétienne
A chalice is a cup or goblet used in religious ceremonies, particularly in Christian worship where it holds wine during communion services. It matters because it serves as an important sacred vessel in liturgical practice and is often crafted with fine materials and artistic detail, as shown in surviving examples like medieval silver-gilt pieces decorated with religious imagery.

Le calice, du mot grec kulix, est un vase sacré de la liturgie chrétienne, présentant la forme d'une coupe évasée portée sur un pied élevé. Il est employé dans la célébration eucharistique pour la consécration du vin, lequel devient le sang du Christ. Le calice rappelle la coupe de vin de la Cène, le Saint Calice.
