An Argentinian silversmith, Juan
Carlos Pallarols, is handcrafting a simple silver chalice for Pope
Francis, which will be embossed with two images of the Blessed Mother:
Our Lady of Lujan, an Argentinian image of the Immaculate Conception, associated with a 17th century miracle, and Our Lady Undoer of Knots, a German devotion which Cardinal Bergoglio brought to Argentina in the 1980′s and has since promoted there.
The same silversmith collaborated
with Cardinal Bergoglio in designing another chalice, embossed with the
image of Our Lady Undoer of Knots, which the Cardinal presented to Pope
Benedict shortly after he ascended to the Chair of St. Peter.
