Saint Maximilian Mary Kolbe mug with a photograph

The sepia image shows the saint with Franciscan habit, cord, beard and round glasses. The reproduction preserves the photograph’s character and allows the person named on the reverse to be recognized. Choose the design for someone connected with his memory or who appreciates historical portraits of religious figures, adding your own personal message when giving the gift to explain its meaning.

Kolbe was a Polish Conventual Franciscan whose work included teaching, publishing and mission in Asia. His life was marked by the Nazi occupation of Poland and his death in Auschwitz after volunteering to take the place of another condemned prisoner. His history can accompany the gift with a reading about service, faith and personal decisions in difficult circumstances, according to the recipient’s connection with this memory and the reason for choosing the photograph.

Birth, death and recognition as a saint

The Saint Maximilian Mary Kolbe mug includes birth in Zduńska Wola in 1894 and death in Auschwitz on 14 August 1941. Beatification in 1971 and canonization in 1982 appear as separate stages. His name and commemoration on 14 August complete the text alongside the photograph, for his feast or as a keepsake of a shared reading.

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