它們一定曾被人悉心收藏。我們知道，這些玻璃杯中有很多為皇室藏品或教堂珍寶，
So it's probable that many of them were in fact used as chalices in royal chapels and churches.
極有可能在皇家禮拜堂或大教堂內(nèi)被用作圣杯。
Many of the surviving Hedwig beakers have been mounted with precious metal for use in the mass, and when you look at the foot and the sides of our beaker, you can see that it, too, once had metal mounts.
現(xiàn)存不少海德薇玻璃杯都曾被置于貴金屬制成的支架上，在彌撒時使用。觀察這個杯子的底部與邊緣，也能看到金屬支架的安裝痕跡。

1267年，她被宣布為圣徒之時，女圣徒的數(shù)量達(dá)到了教會史上的新髙，
You really can say that this is the point where women broke through the glass ceiling of sanctity.
并且終于打破了封圣無形的性別限制，
A quarter of all new saints were now female.
約有四分之一的新封圣徒為女性。
This may well have had something to do with the religious revival fostered by the new preaching orders, the Franciscans and the Dominicans.
這應(yīng)該是得益于當(dāng)時的新教派圣方濟會和多明我會推行的宗教復(fù)興策略。
They believed that the true Christian life should be lived not in the cloister but in the town, and they insisted that women should play a full part in this.
他們相信真正的基督徒不應(yīng)該生活在修道院中，而應(yīng)該生活在城鎮(zhèn)里，也堅持認(rèn)為女性應(yīng)該在教會中與男性平起平坐。
