Saint Anselm of Canterbury Mug

This Saint Anselm of Canterbury mug can be a gift for someone named Anselm or for a person who deepens their faith through study. The stained-glass image and the details on the reverse recall a monk, teacher and archbishop associated with Aosta, Bec and Canterbury. Choose it for a devotion or to remember a conversation about his thought.

An episcopal stained-glass image

The image shows him with a mitre, golden halo, grey beard, green chasuble and crozier. This representation highlights his role as a bishop and brings the colours of religious stained glass to the design. His name on the opposite side identifies the figure and connects the image with the biographical details of the composition.

Anselm was born in Aosta and spent a decisive part of his monastic life at Bec in Normandy. There he was a teacher, prior and abbot before taking the see of Canterbury. His teaching valued persuasion and guidance. As archbishop, his life was also marked by the difficult relationship between ecclesiastical authority and the English monarchy. These references give a starting point for someone interested in his teaching.

His life and commemoration on the reverse

The reverse records Aosta as his birthplace and his death on 21 April 1109, together with his name and 21 April commemoration. If the recipient appreciates his works or Canterbury's heritage, explain which reading or experience led to your choice. It can mark a name day or thank someone for their dedication to teaching.

Before ordering, you can rotate the composition in the 3D viewer to examine the image and text from different angles. Selecting Both sides displays two opposing views of the same design, with rotation still available. Choose the handle orientation for a right-handed or left-handed user. The number of mugs you wish to receive is selected separately from the views shown.

We print the composition by sublimation. The printed text is in Spanish. Choose this gift for the name, history or devotion that connects you with its recipient, and accompany it with a few personal words about why you thought of them. Our collection of religious mugs includes other figures and celebrations, so you can dedicate each gift to someone in your family or community.
