Saint Olegarius mug with an image of his sculpture

The photograph shows a seventeenth-century marble sculpture: Olegarius wears a mitre and holds a crozier, making a gesture of blessing within a shell-shaped niche. The composition makes his episcopal role recognisable and offers a way to explore religious art associated with his memory. The sculpture provides the visual focus of this design.

Olegarius was prior at Sant Adrià del Besòs and abbot of Saint Rufus before taking on episcopal responsibilities. As bishop of Barcelona and archbishop of Tarragona, his work became associated with restoring ecclesial life, preaching and caring for people in need. His story can give meaning to a gift for someone interested in the history of these dioceses.

Barcelona and canonisation on the reverse

The reverse of the Saint Olegarius mug bears his name, Barcelona as his birthplace and place of death, his canonisation in 1675 and his commemoration on 6 March. These details accompany the image when you turn the mug and help place the saint you wish to remember. Choose the printed text language in the customiser and check it in the preview.
