This is Valencia Cathedral's own custodial record for the Holy Chalice, the Santo Caliz, maintained by the Metropolitan Chapter that owns, displays and promotes it as an object of Eucharistic devotion, particularly during its jubilee years. As the custodian's own record it is authoritative for the chalice's custody, its devotional cult and the archaeological dating of the agate cup itself to the pre-Christian era. Its limit is that authority does not extend to the further claim that this is the actual cup used at the Last Supper, a matter of tradition and faith rather than archaeological proof, so a claim asserting that identification as established historical fact needs to be distinguished from what the cathedral's own record can actually establish.

Assessment
Reliability Tier2
This is Valencia Cathedral's own custodial record for the Holy Chalice, maintained by the Metropolitan Chapter that owns and displays it, authoritative for its custody, cult and archaeological dating but not for the further claim of Last Supper identification, hence the middle tier. NotesValencia Cathedral's own custodial record for the Holy Chalice; a standing institutional record, not a scholarly publication, good for provenance and custody facts, not for the relic's own history or authenticity.
