Saint Philip Neri mug with a work by Tiepolo

The image shows Philip kneeling in a red and gold chasuble, looking towards heaven. The painting is in the Oratory of the Crucifix at the church of San Polo in Venice. Choose it for its artistic character or the recipient’s connection with Oratorian spirituality and the places where his memory is preserved.

Philip was born in Florence and moved to Rome as a young man. Before becoming a priest, he visited hospitals and accompanied people in the streets and squares. He took part in initiatives caring for pilgrims and sick people, where material help went alongside prayer. This contact with people forms part of the context of the Oratory and can give meaning to a gift of thanks or friendship.

Name, places and canonization on the reverse

The Saint Philip Neri mug records his birth in Florence in 1515, death in Rome on 26 May 1595 and canonization in 1622. His name and commemoration on 26 May complete the reverse. These references accompany the painting and identify the saint when you give the keepsake to its recipient.

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