Saint Ephrem the Syrian mug for poetry and faith

The mosaic shows the saint with writing on a scroll. The image is connected with words and teaching, references that can give meaning to a gift for someone who writes, sings or enjoys reading Christian authors. Accompany it with words about the hymn, conversation or reading that inspired your choice, so that the recipient can connect the picture with a shared interest.

Ephrem was born in Nisibis and carried out his religious activity in the Syriac-speaking world. He was a deacon and used poetry to teach communities. After leaving Nisibis, he continued his work in Edessa. His memory brings together writing, prayer and help for people in need. Tradition calls him the harp of the Holy Spirit, an expression associated with the importance of song in his work and a context for the gift.

Nisibis and commemoration on the reverse

The Saint Ephrem the Syrian mug includes the name, Nisibis as his birthplace and commemoration on 9 June. These references identify the saint alongside his image.
