Description
St. Maria Skobtsova is an inspiring example of uncompromising service & love. She cared for the poor & marginalized in Paris in the early 20th century, & her work sheltering Jews from the Nazis resulted in her being taken to a prison camp, where she died as a martyr. Featuring an original design by an independent Orthodox Christian artist, this item would be a lovely purchase for yourself, or as a gift to a priest, Sunday school teacher, or Church friend, to serve as a daily inspiration & reminder of our walk with Christ in the Orthodox faith. On one side is an illustrated portrait of St. Maria with the quote, "However hard I try, I find it impossible to construct anything greater than these three words: 'Love one another.' Only, to the end, & without exceptions." On the opposite side is a second illustration with the quote, "I am Your message, Lord. Throw me like a blazing torch into the night, that all may see & understand what it means to be a disciple." This mug is sturdy & glossy, with a vivid print that will withstand the microwave & dishwasher. Every mug is professionally printed, safely packaged & carefully shipped by our production partner. This product, like all creations by Bright Tuesday Design, is made with the prayer that it will bring the spirit, beauty & joy of the Orthodox Church out into the world & into the everyday lives of Orthodox Christians. Holy Mother Maria, pray for us! st. Maria Skobtsova Of Paris 15 Oz. Mug Saints The Orthodox Church
