الوصف:

The celebration of the Divine Liturgy is one of the most important ceremonies in the Christian Church. This chalice is part of a silver service (with Walters 57.634, 57.635, 57.645, 57.644, 57.649, 57.646, 57.650, and 57.638) that is one of only four to survive from the first "golden age" of Byzantium (6th century). Each of the vessels in this service performed a sacred function in the liturgical service. This chalice, or cup, held the wine of the Eucharist (symbolizing the blood of Christ). This silver service was found in Syria in 1910, in the village of Kurin. The Greek form of its name, Kaper Koraon, is inscribed on several pieces in the treasure, including a chalice, which reads: "...treasure of the Church of St. Sergios of the village of Kaper Koraon." Almost all of the vessels record the names of donors who gave pieces from their private dinner services in fulfillment of a vow, to gain divine blessing, or in prayer for salvation.For the latest information about this object, chalices, visit art.thewalters.org.Dynasty: Inscriptions: [Translation] + For the prayer and salvation of Theophilus’ [sons] John, Thomas, and Mannos [Stamp] Five stamps inside the footReign: Style:
