Also, between the basilica of Golgotha and the Martyrium, there is
20]
a chapel in which is the chalice of the Lord, which he himself blessed
with his own hand and gave to the apostles when reclining with them at
supper the day before he suffered. The chalice is silver, has the measure
of a Gaulish pint, and has two handles fashioned on either side. It contains
the sponge which was soaked in vinegar, placed on hyssop by those
25]
who crucified the Lord, and put to his lips. After the resurrection the
Lord drank from this same chalice, according to the story, when supping
with the apostles. The holy Arculf saw it, and through an opening of the
perforated lid of the reliquary where it reposes, he touched it with his
own hand which he had kissed. All the people of the city flock to it
30]
with great veneration.
