Saint John the Baptist mug

This Saint John the Baptist mug can be a gift for a John or someone who celebrates his feast in June.

Saint John the Baptist mug with lamb and cross

The image shows the saint in camel skin with a reed cross, pointing, with a lamb at his feet. The representation brings together references to his mission of announcing Jesus. Choose the design for its connection with the name John or a biblical story that has meaning for the recipient, adding your own words about the reading or celebration that inspired your choice.

Luke’s Gospel presents John as the son of Zechariah and Elizabeth and connects his birth with the angel Gabriel’s announcement. His figure is linked with Jesus from Mary’s visit to Elizabeth. Later, John announces his coming and baptizes him in the Jordan. Christian tradition knows him as the Forerunner, a reference to recall when explaining why you chose the gift and connecting the image with the Gospel account.

Name and feast on the reverse

The Saint John the Baptist mug includes his name and commemoration on 24 June. This date corresponds to the liturgical celebration of his Nativity. The composition connects the painting with a feast you can celebrate as a family or share with a John. Personal words when giving it can explain which celebration or person led you to think of him and give the keepsake a meaning shared 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.
