Saints Perpetua and Felicity Mug

The Saints Perpetua and Felicity mug remembers two women who shared faith and martyrdom in ancient Carthage. It can be a gift for someone celebrating either of these names or for a person who wishes to keep the memory of the first Christian communities close. Its design brings together a historical miniature and the commemoration that remembers them together.

Saints Perpetua and Felicity mug, a shared story

Perpetua and Felicity belonged to a group of catechumens imprisoned during the persecution at the beginning of the third century. They died in Carthage in the year 203. The account of their passion preserves Perpetua's testimony and other narratives about the companions who shared that moment. Their story is the context for the image on the mug.

Their memory has been passed on through readings of that account in Christian communities. If you are seeking a gift for someone interested in the testimonies of martyrs, this story can accompany it and explain why you chose the two saints. It gives you a way to share the meaning behind the design with its recipient.

A miniature with the saints and their companions

The image comes from the Menologion of Basil II and depicts the martyrdom of Perpetua, Felicity and their companions before the executioners. The reverse of the Saints Perpetua and Felicity mug bears both their names and their commemoration on 7 March. The scene shows the group, while the text identifies the two saints to whom the design is dedicated. Choose the printed text language in the customiser and check it in the preview.

Before ordering, you can inspect both sides in the 3D viewer and rotate the composition. Both sides mode places two opposing views of the same design together so you can see the illustration and text at once. You select the number of mugs you wish to receive separately from those views.

The design is printed using sublimation, and you can select the handle orientation for right-handed or left-handed use. Choose the Saints Perpetua and Felicity mug to celebrate their feast day or share a devotion. Our religious mugs collection offers other figures so you can dedicate each gift to someone in your family or community.
