Saint Germanus of Paris mug with a book of hours miniature

The image comes from a book of hours illuminated by Jean le Tavernier. It shows the saint in shades of grey, with episcopal attributes and an open book. The reproduction preserves the character of the manuscript illustration, offering a reference for someone who appreciates old books and religious representations associated with the history of Paris.

Germanus was educated in the Autun region and became abbot of Saint-Symphorien before taking the see of Paris. Traditions about him emphasize care for people in need, hospitality and concern for prisoners. Venantius Fortunatus wrote his life and transmitted the accounts through which the community preserved his memory. This context can give meaning to a gift connected with caring for and serving others.
