Paul the Hermit mug

The Paul the Hermit mug recalls a figure from the Christian eremitic tradition. You can choose it for someone called Paul, for someone who enjoys reading about the Desert Fathers or as a personal keepsake of this celebration on 15 January. Its painting and the name on the reverse offer a simple reference to accompany a quiet pause during the day.

Paul and the raven in the tradition of his life

The image depicts Saint Paul the Hermit as a bearded old man with a halo, receiving bread from a raven beside a cross. The scene comes from the hagiographic tradition handed down about him. The account of his life is known mainly through Jerome and forms part of the Christian memory of Egyptian hermits.

The text side carries the name «Paul the Hermit» and the 15 January commemoration. The Paul the Hermit mug is dedicated to this hermit, whose image differs from the usual depictions of the Apostle Paul. The raven scene helps identify the tradition to which the design belongs.

Choose a keepsake you can check in full

The 3D viewer lets you rotate the mug and observe the painting and text from different angles. The “Both sides” option brings together two opposing views of the same composition to see both sides together. The number of mugs you wish to buy is selected separately.

You can also choose a right- or left-handed layout. The image and name are already prepared, so you do not need to position the elements or type the text. Check your selection and we prepare the sublimation printing. Choose the printed text language in the customiser and check it in the preview.

The Paul the Hermit mug can accompany name day greetings or a conversation about the reading you share with the person receiving the gift. If you choose it for yourself, it can preserve a reminder of a religious story that particularly interests you. You will find other saints and celebrations in our collection of religious mugs, to select each design according to the name and devotion you wish to remember.
