Saint Januarius in a painting of the bishop

The painting depicts the saint with a mitre, crosier and golden cope, beside two ampoules and a head on the table. The composition brings together elements of his iconography and may appeal to someone familiar with images linked to his cult. Image and text let you dedicate the gift to him and explain the memory you want to share.

Januarius, known in Italy as Gennaro, holds an important place in the religious memory of Naples. Liturgical tradition presents him as bishop of Benevento and a martyr. His veneration is linked with the city’s cathedral, catacombs and processions. The ampoules venerated as a relic of his blood are among the best-known expressions of that cult and help explain their presence in the painting.

His name and the 19 September commemoration

The mug includes the name Saint Januarius and the 19 September commemoration. The text identifies the feast to which the design is dedicated. Choose it for a Januarius, to recall a visit to Naples or to share with someone in your family a reference to the devotion that keeps his memory present.

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. Choose the printed text language in the customiser and check it in the preview. 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.
