It is usually tall, with a stem and a bowl, and may have jewels or . Priests and ministers lift it with care; it is treated as holy, not as . Though actually, outside church the word can sound old or poetic. Stories and films use chalice for any grand, almost sacred cup, and people sometimes call the Holy Grail a chalice.
