Saint Braulio of Saragossa mug

The Saint Braulio of Saragossa mug can be a gift for someone named Braulio, someone with a connection to Saragossa or a person who enjoys the history of books and the Church.

Saint Braulio of Saragossa mug with a medieval miniature

The image shows the saint seated beneath an arch, with a halo, a dark chasuble and a white pallium. The composition belongs to a tradition of manuscript illustration that identifies his episcopal role. The miniature's character can be meaningful to someone who appreciates art and old books.

Braulio was bishop of Saragossa between 631 and 651. His relationship with Isidore of Seville is reflected in their correspondence and his involvement in organising the Etymologies. He also wrote about the life of Saint Aemilian. His work shows how study, letters and the memory of saints formed part of Church life in his time.

A reference to Saragossa and his commemoration

The Saint Braulio of Saragossa mug carries his name, his death in Saragossa in 651 and the 26 March commemoration on the reverse. The image and text identify the saint you wish to remember, through his name, his city or his connection with written culture. Choose it to celebrate his feast or thank someone for their companionship.

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.
