Saint John of Damascus mug

The Saint John of Damascus mug can be a gift for someone named John or interested in icons and Eastern Christian theology. The saint’s image accompanies his name and commemoration date. A personal message can recall a book, a visit or the recipient’s connection with the traditions that preserve his memory.

An icon of Saint John of Damascus, the theologian

The depiction shows the saint with a golden halo, dark turban and long beard, holding a scroll written in Greek. The icon lets you dedicate the gift to someone who knows his writings or appreciates Eastern religious images. Connect it with a conversation about his thought and explain why you chose this figure for the person receiving it.

John was a monk, priest and theologian, remembered especially for defending sacred images. His activity was associated with the monastery of Mar Saba, near Jerusalem. Treatises, homilies and hymns form part of a legacy in which study and liturgical life were connected. His work offers firmer knowledge of his thought than the personal accounts transmitted by later biographies. This background can give meaning to the gift for someone interested in art and religious reflection.

His name and the December commemoration

The mug includes his name and the commemoration on 4 December. The reverse identifies the theologian and accompanies the icon, connecting the gift with his memory. Choose it for his feast day or as a reminder of something you have read that sparked an interest in him.

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.
