Judas Cup

In the *Ancient Monuments, Rites, and Customs of Durham*, published by the Surtees Society, we have the following account of "Judas Cup" in the refectory, which is described as— "A goodly great mazer, called Judas Cup, edged about with silver and double gilt, with a foot underneath it to stand on, of silver and double gilt, which was never used but on Maunday Thursday at night in the Frater House, where the prior and the whole convent did meet and keep their Maunday." (p. 68.) I send this with reference to the mention of the "Judas Bell" and "Judas Candle" in your 2nd Volume, p. 298.
