As an example, the Christian peasants that are from Mexico create cups using baked clay while Christian Palestinians create cups with the use of olive wood.
Purpose of Communion Cups
No matter what communion cups are made for, they serve one major purpose, and that is to symbolize the faith that people have in Christ.
Some churches that are small in size still prefer to use glass cups, even if it can take time in washing up. Because of this, plastic communion cups are more favorable for churches that have a bigger congregation.
In the end, one important purpose for the communion cups that we use is to represent the blood that Christ shed on our behalf. Thus, no matter what they are made of, they are an integral part of the Christian faith.
Even if the Bible does not offer the cup during the Last Supper dinner or make any significance about it, believers still uphold it as a sacred item. Pilgrims in Jerusalem believed that another significant cup was still venerated in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
It supposedly contained the sponge that was used by Christ at Calvary. This was apart from the tradition and belief surrounding the cup from the last supper.
Even if the cup is hardly mentioned in the Last Supper or given any extra significance, believers still uphold it as a sacred item. Another sacred cup is also upheld by Pilgrims in Jerusalem, this was a cup that was supposedly venerated in the Holy Sepulcher.
This is thought to be the cup that was used by Christ in his crucifixion in Calvary and still supposedly contains that sponge that he used. This is of course, different from the cup and tradition surrounding the cup from the Last Supper.
