Saint Peter of Tarentaise Mug

This Saint Peter of Tarentaise mug recalls a Cistercian monk who was abbot of Tamié and later a bishop in the Alps. It can be a gift for someone named Peter, a person who knows the abbey or someone interested in monastic life. The monastery photograph evokes his story through a place associated with it and can recall a visit or shared devotion.

A photograph of Tamié Abbey

The image presents the abbey's stone buildings and towers behind a green meadow. This is a contemporary photograph of Tamié in Savoy. It links his memory with the community Peter led before taking episcopal responsibility. Choose it for the place, its surroundings or the recipient's connection to monastic tradition.

His religious path began in the Cistercian community of Bonnevaux. Later he was sent to Tamié as abbot and became bishop of Tarentaise. His story brings prayer together with care for poor people and travellers, as well as mediation in conflicts. This context can accompany a conversation about hospitality or serving others when you give the mug.

His name and milestones on the reverse

The reverse records his name, his death in 1174, his canonisation in 1191 and his 8 May commemoration. These references identify the saint alongside the monastery photograph. The composition is already prepared, allowing you to examine how the image and text relate before choosing a gift for his feast or a memory of a shared place.

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. The printed text is in Spanish. 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.
