Saint Renovatus of Mérida mug with a view of Saint Eulalia

The image shows Saint Eulalia's basilica, with the Hornito in front and the bell tower in the background. It is a photograph of the surroundings in Mérida associated with the saint's memory. His name on the reverse connects the view of the monument with the figure to whom the design is dedicated.

Renovatus, also called Renatus, was abbot of Cauliana before becoming bishop of Mérida in the seventh century. The Lives of the Holy Fathers of Mérida preserved accounts of his formation, teaching and care for the monastic community. His path brings together monastery life and episcopal ministry in the Visigothic city.

A keepsake of the city and its saint

Tradition connected his burial with the surroundings of Saint Eulalia's shrine, alongside the memory of other bishops of Mérida. The Saint Renovatus of Mérida mug includes his name and the 31 March commemoration on the reverse. Choose it to celebrate his feast, remember a visit and share part of local history, through the name, place or devotion you wish to recall.

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.
