Saint Peter Claver in an image of his mission

The painting depicts the saint in a black cassock and with a cross, preaching among enslaved African people seated at his feet. The scene connects the design with his missionary work and may appeal to someone looking for an image of this Jesuit. It lets you dedicate the gift to someone interested in his history and explain your choice.

Peter Claver arrived in New Granada and exercised his ministry in Cartagena. He went to meet people disembarking from slave-trade ships, seeking food, water, clothing and help for those who were ill. Material care and religious teaching were part of his dedication. This background can give meaning to a gift for someone familiar with his work or who wishes to remember those accompanying others in vulnerable situations.

Birth, death and canonisation on the reverse

The Saint Peter Claver mug includes his birth in Verdú in 1580, his death on 8 September 1654 and canonisation on 15 January 1888. His name and the 9 September commemoration complete the text. The feast is thus distinguished from the anniversary of his death, which occurred the day before.

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.
