Saint Peter Damian mug

The Saint Peter Damian mug is a gift for someone who appreciates monastic tradition, the study of faith or the memory of this Doctor of the Church. The painting presents him writing, an image that connects with a life shaped by letters, treatises and service to different communities.

Saint Peter Damian mug: from retreat to the life of the Church

Peter Damian was born in Ravenna and received an education that also took him to Faenza and Parma. After teaching, he entered the hermit community of Fonte Avellana. There he was elected prior and worked to organise a life dedicated to prayer, study and charity among the brothers.

Retreat coexisted with many responsibilities outside the monastery. As Cardinal Bishop of Ostia, he received mediation missions and took part in the Church reform of the eleventh century. His writings reflect both an interest in the life of hermits and attention to the problems of his time. This combination can give meaning to a gift for someone who studies or shares his spirituality.

Image, places and commemoration

The Saint Peter Damian mug shows the saint seated before a book and looking towards an angel. The reverse gives his name, Ravenna as his birthplace, his death in Faenza in 1072 and the 21 February commemoration. The image and text offer two different sides from which to approach his memory.

We print the composition by sublimation. Choose the printed text language in the customiser and check it in the preview. You can check the result in the 3D viewer, rotate it and activate Both sides to see two opposing views of the same design. Choose the handle orientation for a right-handed or left-handed user; the quantity you want to receive is selected separately.

Choose the Saint Peter Damian mug to accompany a name day greeting, a thank you or a conversation about his life. For other figures for people in your family or community, you will find more choices in our collection of religious mugs. You can dedicate each design to the person who will receive it, according to their name or devotion.
