A reverent historical drama about faith and craftsmanship, centered on the spiritual and artistic journey to create a sacred relic while confronting false prophets and spiritual deception.

A Greek artisan is commissioned to cast the cup of Christ in silver and sculpt around its rim the faces of the disciples and Jesus himself. He travels to Jerusalem and eventually to Rome to complete the task. Meanwhile, a nefarious interloper is trying to convince the crowds that he is the new Messiah by using nothing more than cheap parlor tricks.
