Argentine silversmith Juan Carlos Pallarols is crafting a ceremonial chalice intended for Pope Leo XIV’s upcoming visit to Argentina in November. 

The project, described as a baroque-style piece, aims to transform elements of conflict into a religious symbol of peace. The artisan is utilizing pure silver combined with materials from weapons used in the Malvinas War. The creation process has involved a collective effort across various regions, including Corrientes, Chaco, and Santa Fe. 

As part of the commemorative process, the chalice is accompanied by a book containing signatures and well-wishes from those involved in its creation.
