The Legend of the Bridal Cup
Once upon a time there was a beautiful maiden named Kunigunde, who fell in love with a young and ambitious goldsmith.
She refused many titled and rich suitors who asked for her hand in marriage, and finally she confessed her secret love to her father, a rich and powerful nobleman. He became furious, and the young man was thrown into the dungeon.
This broke poor Kunigunde’s heart, but not even her bitter tears would change her father’s mind. She wasted away until finally one day the father seemed to relent and said “If your goldsmith can make a chalice from which two people are able to drink at the same time without spilling one single drop I will free him and you shall become his wife.”
Of course he was certain nobody could perform such a task. But love inspired the young man and in only a few days his nimble fingers formed a lovely skirt-shaped chalice, the like of which no-one had ever seen before. At the top the beautiful beloved who with upraised arms bore a small movable cup. Nothing was easier than for two people to drink simultaneously from the wine filled chalice.
The story ended well with the loving couple becoming man and wife. On their wedding day, and often later on, they drank from the chalice and lived happily ever after.
To this day for many couples the chalice remains a symbol.
Love, faithfulness and good lock await the couple who drinks from this cup.
