A mosaic of Saint Lazarus of Bethany

The image depicts the saint with a golden halo, an omophorion bearing crosses and a Gospel book, in a Byzantine style. The composition may interest someone familiar with the traditions about Lazarus or who enjoys Eastern Christian art. The name on the reverse identifies Lazarus of Bethany and connects the depiction with the story you want to share through your gift.

The Gospel of John presents Lazarus as the brother of Martha and Mary and a friend of Jesus. The account of his return to life brings together family grief, the closeness of a friend and the hope of resurrection. His home appears as a place of welcome. Later traditions extended his story to different territories and centres of worship. This background can give meaning to a keepsake connected with a Bible reading or a devotion passed down in the family.

Name and December commemoration

The mug includes his name and the commemoration on 17 December. The prepared text accompanies the mosaic to identify the figure to whom the design is dedicated. Choose it for his name day or as a reference to the story of friendship preserved in the Gospel.

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.
