It should be noted that the chalice in Christianity is not only used in the Catholic liturgy but by other Christian churches (although other names may be applied to it according to each community) and that it derives from the main cup used in Passover, since Jesus Christ, at the Last Supper which was at Passover or on the eve of Passover, used such an important ritual element to establish what later in Romance languages is called common union or communion through the rite of the Eucharist. More information: The sacerdotal chalice, the receptacle that holds the Blood of Christ during Mass. A symbol of communion between God and men, of salvation embodied in Jesus. The chalice is the sacred vessel used to contain the wine that becomes the Blood of Christ during the Eucharistic celebration. It symbolizes the chalice used by Jesus during the Last Supper, then a very common vessel. In fact, the Latin word calix means glass, cup, goblet, an object commonly used in any home. And precisely private homes were the first places of worship for Christians, so it is natural that they used a normal vessel to consecrate the wine of the Liturgy.
