A Marian sculpture of Our Lady of Hope

The image shows the Virgin of the Expectation with a reddish dress and dark mantle, an open book and one hand on her belly. The depiction connects the motif with the anticipation of Jesus’ birth. It may appeal to someone who appreciates this iconography or wants a reminder of the celebration that accompanies the last days of Advent.

This Marian title is also known as Expectation of Childbirth and Our Lady of the O. Its history brings together an ancient Hispanic celebration and forms of popular devotion especially associated with Toledo. The name O is connected with the great Advent antiphons and their expression of expectation. This background can give meaning to the gift as a reminder of a family feast or a community that preserves this tradition.

The commemoration on 18 December

The mug includes the Marian title and the commemoration on 18 December. The reverse accompanies the sculpture to identify the Marian remembrance that inspires the design. Choose it for the feast or for the recipient’s connection with this form of devotion.

Before ordering, you can rotate the composition in the 3D viewer to examine the image and text from different angles.
