Saint Casilda mug

The Saint Casilda mug is a gift for someone named Casilda, a person fond of La Bureba or someone who enjoys Zurbarán's painting. Her image brings together the ornate dress and roses associated with the saint in art. Give it for a name day or as a keepsake of a visit to her sanctuary in the Burgos region, adding your own personal words when you hand it over.

Saint Casilda mug with Zurbarán's roses

The design reproduces Francisco de Zurbarán's Saint Casilda, kept at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid. The painting stands out for the saint's presence and the richness of her dress. The flowers gathered in her lap identify the episode that has most widely spread her devotion and offer a reason to share her story with the recipient.

Tradition tells that Casilda brought food to Christian captives in Toledo and that, when she was discovered, the bread turned into roses. Another account connects her with a healing beside the wells of San Vicente, near Buezo, and her life of retreat there. Her cult took root in the Burgos district of La Bureba, where the sanctuary preserves the memory of those who came to ask and give thanks.

Her name and 9 April on the reverse

The Saint Casilda mug carries the saint's name and the 9 April commemoration on the reverse. The composition keeps the painting in focus and identifies the keepsake without you having to enter the details during the order. Choose it to celebrate her name, share a family devotion or give an image you both appreciate, with a different saint for each recipient if you wish.

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.
