Saint Isidore of Seville mug

The Saint Isidore of Seville mug can be a gift for someone named Isidore or someone whose reading brings them closer to faith. The painting of the bishop before an open volume recalls an author who gathered and passed on knowledge from antiquity. His name and the details on the reverse accompany the image, to share a devotion or memories of Seville.

Saint Isidore of Seville mug for people who enjoy learning

Isidore succeeded his brother Leander in the see of Seville and helped organise the Church in the Visigothic kingdom. His work combined teaching, writing and pastoral responsibility. The Etymologies, his best-known work, brought together material about language, nature and human activities that circulated during the Middle Ages.

For someone who studies history, teaches or has a special relationship with Seville, you can accompany the gift with a few words about that connection. It can also recall a visit to Saint Isidore's basilica in León, associated with the later veneration of his remains. Choose which part of this story you wish to share with the recipient.

A reader's image and a specific date on the reverse

The painting shows the elderly saint seated with a mitre, pastoral staff and golden cape, leafing through a book. The Saint Isidore of Seville mug carries his death in Seville on 4 April 636 and the 4 April commemoration on the reverse. This is the date followed by this design. Choose it for his feast, to thank someone for their teaching or recall a city you visited together.

Before ordering, you can rotate the composition in the 3D viewer to examine the image and text from different angles.
