Archbishop Enrique Benavent described Valencia as the city of the Holy Chalice during the closing Mass of the Jubilee Year. He stated that the relic serves as an emblem for the city, its culture, and the local Church.

The Valencia City Council received a replica of the Holy Chalice to recognize its role in the preparation and successful development of the Jubilee Year. Archbishop Benavent expressed gratitude to the mayor and the council for their involvement in the event.

The Archbishop noted that this third Jubilee Year was more established than the second, which faced restrictions due to the pandemic. He indicated that the significance of the relic is becoming more widely known throughout the world.
