Saint Cyril of Alexandria mug with an episcopal icon

The representation shows the saint in episcopal vestments with a book. The icon offers a visual reference to his ministry and activity as an author. Choose this design for someone familiar with his figure or who enjoys exploring the artistic traditions of the Eastern Churches, connecting the prepared image with the interests and conversations that you share with them.

Cyril was born in Egypt and received an education that brought him close to Scripture, Christian tradition and Greek literature. He succeeded Theophilus in the see of Alexandria. His long episcopate was marked by theological reflection and the city’s religious and political conflicts. The history of that period can give meaning to a gift for someone interested in relationships between the Christian communities of Antiquity and the circumstances in which their authors wrote.

Egypt and the year of death on the reverse

The Saint Cyril of Alexandria mug includes his name, Egypt as his birthplace and death in 444. Commemoration on 27 June completes the text. These references identify the bishop alongside his image and connect the keepsake with a particular devotion or historical interest. Choose it for his feast or to share a story you know, explaining the personal meaning when giving it to 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.
