This Saint Teresa of Calcutta mug can be a gift for a Teresa or someone with whom you have shared an experience of service.

Saint Teresa of Calcutta mug with her portrait

The photograph shows her smiling, wearing her white sari with blue stripes and a crucifix pinned to it. The image retains its photographic appearance and makes the religious sister recognizable alongside the information on the other side. Choose it because of the recipient’s devotion or a memory connected with the Missionaries of Charity. A personal message can explain why this image brings that shared memory to mind.

Teresa was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. Her vocation took her to India, where she devoted her life to caring for poor and sick people. The foundation of the Missionaries of Charity gave that work continuity through a community. Her story can accompany the gift with a conversation about everyday attentiveness and the responsibility of caring for those around us. It offers a way to acknowledge the help you have shared without losing sight of the person receiving your gift.

Four life milestones on the reverse

The Saint Teresa of Calcutta mug records her birth in Skopje on 26 August 1910 and her death in Calcutta, India, on 5 September 1997. Her beatification on 19 October 2003 and canonization on 4 September 2016 appear as separate milestones, both celebrated in Saint Peter’s Square. Her name identifies the person to whom this keepsake is dedicated.

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.
