Saint Romuald mug

This Saint Romuald mug can be a gift for a Romuald or someone for whom silence and prayer hold an important place in life. His image and the references on the reverse recall the monk associated with Camaldoli. Choose it for a name day, to thank someone for their calm support or as a keepsake of a reading about the monastic tradition that you share with the recipient.

Saint Romuald mug with a fresco of the monk

The image shows an elderly Romuald with a long white beard, a golden halo and a light-coloured hooded habit. The fresco offers a reference to the monk’s figure to examine alongside the text on the other side. Choose this design for someone who knows his history or wishes to keep an image connected with contemplative life, explaining what inspired your choice when giving the gift.

Romuald was born near Ravenna and began his religious journey at Sant’Apollinare in Classe. His search for an austere life led him to other communities and experiences of retreat. He promoted a monastic renewal that joined community life with that of hermits. His name became particularly associated with Camaldoli. This history can give meaning to a gift for someone who values reflection or shares your interest in the life of monasteries.

Origins and death on the reverse

The Saint Romuald mug lists his birthplace as near Ravenna and his death as occurring in Valdicastro on 19 June 1027. His name and commemoration on 19 June complete the design. The composition connects the elderly monk’s image with the places and date that recall his journey, allowing the recipient to relate the fresco to the particular person you wish to remember.

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.
