A marble sculpture in Siena Cathedral

The photograph shows a statue by Antonio Raggi in a cathedral niche. Bernardine appears in a Franciscan habit with a cord. The reproduction dedicates the gift to a particular artwork, suitable for someone who appreciates religious heritage and wishes to keep a connection with places where the saint is remembered.

Bernardine was born in Massa Marittima and educated in Siena. Before entering religious life, he helped with hospital care. His Franciscan path took him through towns and cities, preaching in the language of his listeners. He promoted devotion to the name of Jesus and was associated with the Observant movement. This history can accompany the gift with words about teaching the faith or a shared experience.

Places and his recognition as a saint

The reverse carries his name, Massa Marittima as his birthplace and his death in L’Aquila in 1444. It includes his canonisation in 1450 and 20 May commemoration. These references accompany the photograph and help explain whom the gift honours. Choose it for a name day or as a reminder of a place and devotion shared with the recipient.

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.
