Many scholars are convinced that The Holy Chalice of Valencia is the Holy Grail celebrated in medieval legneds as it was venerated by monks in the secluded Monastery of San Juan de la Peña built into a rocky outcropping of the Spanish Pyrenees. The tradition of Aragón has always insisted that the flaming agate cup of the Holy Chalice was sent to Spain by St. Laurence the glorious Spaniard martyred on a gridiron during the Valerian persecution in Rome in 258 AD.
