Molina 2985 – Life of Christ Gothic Chalice & Paten

An extraordinary example of traditional Spanish silversmithing, the Molina 2985 Life of Christ Chalice combines magnificent Gothic artistry with exceptional attention to detail. Featuring six beautifully sculpted scenes from the life of Christ, intricate openwork ornamentation, and elegant contrasting gold and silver finishes, this chalice is a truly distinguished sacred vessel for the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.

Handcrafted in Spain by Molina Artistic Silver, this exquisite chalice features an elaborate Gothic design distinguished by delicate ajour (openwork) metalwork surrounding the outer cup, ornamental node, and lower collar. The intricate openwork creates exceptional depth and dimension, highlighting the extraordinary skill of Molina's master craftsmen.

The richly decorated base features six detailed representations of significant events in the life of Our Lord:

• The Annunciation – The Angel Gabriel announces to the Blessed Virgin Mary that she will become the Mother of God.
• The Nativity – The birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem.
• The Flight into Egypt – The Holy Family flees to Egypt for the protection of the Christ Child.
• The Baptism of Christ – Jesus is baptized by Saint John the Baptist in the Jordan River.
• The Crucifixion – Christ's supreme sacrifice for the salvation of mankind.
• The Resurrection – The glorious triumph of Christ over sin and death.

Each scene is rendered in finely detailed relief with a silver-plated finish contrasting beautifully against the richly gold-plated background. This distinctive two-tone treatment draws attention to the sacred imagery while enhancing the chalice's traditional Gothic character.

The chalice is available with either a sterling silver inner cup or entirely sterling silver construction, both finished with beautiful gold plating. A coordinating 6¼" scale paten with ring is included.

With its exquisite craftsmanship, meaningful religious symbolism, and timeless appearance, the Molina 2985 is particularly well suited for parish churches, cathedrals, solemn liturgical celebrations, and commemorative or memorial gifts to priests.
