Saint John of Kęty mug

The Saint John of Kęty mug can be a gift for someone named John or who appreciates Kraków’s university and religious history. The painting of the priest accompanies his details on the reverse. A personal message can recall a period of study, a journey or your thanks to someone who helped you during your education.

An image of Saint John of Kęty as a teacher

The depiction shows the saint with a black cassock and white hair, holding a vessel beside a kneeling young woman. The scene lets you dedicate the keepsake to someone who knows his devotion or appreciates narrative paintings of saints. Explain which aspect of his history led you to choose it and connect that with the person receiving the gift.

Also known as John Cantius, he was a priest and teacher at the University of Kraków. His life brought together the study of philosophy and theology with teaching and pastoral care. Biographies highlight his dedication to students and help for people in need. This background can give meaning to a gift for someone interested in figures who linked university life with everyday service to others.

Kęty and Kraków on the reverse

The mug includes his name, birth in Kęty in 1390 and death in Kraków in 1473. The reverse records his canonisation in 1767 and the commemoration on 23 December. These references accompany the painting to identify the teacher whose memory you have chosen to share.

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.
