Saint Stephen mug

The Saint Stephen mug can be a gift for someone named Stephen or who appreciates the account of his service in the Jerusalem community. The painting of the saint accompanies his name and commemoration on the reverse. Dedicate it with a few words about a Bible reading, a family celebration or the reason you thought of that person.

A painting of Saint Stephen, the first martyr

The depiction shows the saint with a pink dalmatic and golden halo, holding a book and a palm of martyrdom. The image brings together attributes of his religious tradition and may interest someone who knows his figure. The text on the other side identifies the saint to connect the painting with the memory you want to share through your gift.

The Acts of the Apostles presents Stephen among those chosen to meet a need in the first community: distributing aid to widows. The account brings together service and preaching, culminating in his witness in the face of violence. Christian tradition remembers him as the first martyr. This background can give meaning to a gift that thanks someone for their dedication to others or shares an interest in the beginnings of Christianity.

His name and commemoration

The mug includes his name and the commemoration on 26 December. The reverse accompanies the painting to identify the remembrance of the saint that follows Christmas. Choose it for his feast, a name-day celebration or a community’s connection with his history.

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.
