Saint Hermenegild mug

The Saint Hermenegild mug can accompany a name day greeting or be a gift for someone who appreciates Baroque religious painting. Francisco de Herrera el Mozo's image shows the saint rising with a cross, surrounded by angels. On the other side, his name and the reference to Tarragona connect this artistic representation with his memory.

Saint Hermenegild mug with a painting by Herrera el Mozo

The design reproduces a scene of heavenly triumph: Hermenegild wears a blue cuirass and holds the cross aloft. The composition brings movement and angelic figures around its central subject. Choose it for someone who knows this work or wishes to keep an image of their devotion among the objects they use each day.

Hermenegild was a Visigothic prince, the son of Leovigild. His conversion to Catholicism and conflict with his father gave rise to ancient accounts assigning different weight to faith and political struggle. The tradition passed down by Gregory the Great centres his remembrance as a martyr on his refusal to return to Arianism. Share that history when explaining your choice, while distinguishing the religious account from the painting's details.

Name, place and commemoration on the reverse

The Saint Hermenegild mug gives Tarragona as the place of his death and the 13 April commemoration on the reverse. These details accompany his name in this design. If the gift recalls a visit to Tarragona, a relative's name or a shared devotion, your own words can explain the connection. Choose it for his celebration or an interest in Christian art you share with its 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.
