Saint John Baptist de Rossi mug with a historical illustration

The image shows the saint wearing a mozzetta and holding a book inscribed “Novum Testamentum”. It retains the character of a devotional illustration and identifies the figure to whom you dedicate the gift. Choose it for the image itself or the recipient’s connection with a reading, a community or the religious history of Rome.

John Baptist was born in Voltaggio and continued his studies in Rome with help from his family. After his ordination as a priest, part of his ministry was dedicated to the hospice of Santa Galla, visiting sick people and caring for prisoners. He also encouraged young people to help with this work. His story provides a context for personal words about service and shared faith when you give the keepsake.

Life milestones and recognition on the reverse

The Saint John Baptist de Rossi mug records his birth in Voltaggio in 1698 and death in Rome on 23 May 1764. Beatification in 1860 and canonization on 8 December 1881 appear as separate milestones. His name and commemoration on 23 May complete the reverse, connecting the illustration with the life of this particular priest.

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