Saint John XXIII in a photograph of the smiling pope

The colour portrait shows John XXIII smiling, with a white skullcap, red cape and pectoral cross. The image makes his face recognisable and may appeal to someone who prefers historical photographs to remember a pontiff. The composition dedicates the gift to his name and lets you explain the personal connection that led you to choose him.

Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli grew up in a farming family and lived a life combining pastoral service and responsibilities for the Holy See. He trained seminarians and cared for people wounded during the war before carrying out diplomatic missions in different countries. His life brought him into contact with communities of various Christian traditions. This background can make the gift meaningful to someone interested in his life and his way of approaching others.

Birth, death and recognitions on the reverse

The mug includes his birth in Sotto il Monte on 25 November 1881 and death in Rome on 3 June 1963. It distinguishes beatification in 2000 from canonisation in Saint Peter’s Square on 27 April 2014. His name and the 11 October commemoration complete the text.

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.
