Saint Clare of the Cross mug with a tile-panel image

The representation shows the saint with dark habit and halo, holding scales and a palm. The reproduction preserves the tile panel’s character and connects the keepsake with an image of her devotion. Choose the design for someone who appreciates religious heritage or wishes to keep a reference to Clare of Montefalco, adding your own message when giving the gift to explain its personal meaning.

Clare belonged to a community of women that moved from a life of retreat to monastic organization under the Rule of Saint Augustine. After her sister Giovanna’s death she was elected abbess. Her memory brings together service to the sisters, prayer and an intense devotion to Christ’s Passion. This context can give meaning to a gift for someone interested in contemplative communities or connected with Augustinian spirituality, relating the image to the recipient’s own interests.
