The chalice is used in Holy Communion (Eucharist) to hold the wine. Before he died on the cross, Jesus instituted a remembrance for himself, involving bread and wine. He said that the bread represents his body, which would be broken for his disciples, and the wine represents his blood, which would be poured out for his disciples. This pre-figured event happened a couple of days later, when Jesus died on the cross, wherein his flesh was torn, and his blood was spilt.
