About this work
Reformed believers take a sip of wine from a beaker during the celebration of Communion. In their religious community this is the moment of interconnection and of the bond with Christ. This beaker was used during the services held at the Dutch Reformed Church in Norwich, an English textile town where thousands of Protestant refugees from the Netherlands lived.
