St. Joseph from a ‘Pilgrimage Card’ (B 01) Coffee Mug
This image comes from a devotional print that can be broadly categorised as a Pilgrimage Card. Typically, pilgrimage cards depicted a saint or saints in the sky beneath heavenly rays of light and hovering in the clouds above their titular church. Such devotional prints were given out to the titular church’s visitors, that is, its pilgrims, as souvenirs. Here, St. Joseph hovers not over ‘A’ church but over ‘THE’ Church as its patron. Writ larger than usual on contemporary pilgrimage cards, the figure of St. Joseph is a dominating presence garbed in a robe of emerald green with gold trim and a white mantle lined in shades of pink and rose. He raises his right hand in a blessing gesture and holds a spray of white lilies symbolising purity in his left. Directly below him appear emblems of the papacy-- the three-tiered crown or tiara of the Pope and the two crossed "keys to the Kingdom of Heaven" (Matthew 16:19)—superimposed on the planet earth. To the left, St. Michael the Archangel skewers the devil with a cross-tipped lance; to the right, vanquished demons appear in the guise of dismembered serpents. + The original devotional print was issued c. 1889 to promulgate Pope Leo XIII’s “Prayer to St. Joseph”, today the official prayer of The Year of St. Joseph. Proclaimed by Pope Francis, The Year celebrates the 150th Anniversary of Blessed Pope Pius IX’s declaration of St. Joseph as Patron of The Church. It should be noted that Pope Leo also authored a very famous short “Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel”. + The Year of St. Joseph: 8 December 2020-2021 December 8; Principal Feast of St. Joseph: March 19; Feast of St. Joseph the Worker: May 1 + Image Source (B 01): Antique image of Saint Joseph, Protecteur de l’Eglise Universelle [Saint Joseph, Protector of the Universal Church], originally published in chromolithography by Bonamy Pont. Edit., Poitiers, France, No. 164, from the designer’s private collection of religious ephemera.

I like to buy and review my own work to ensure you get an outstanding product and I’m happy to give the Primary Colours Beach Football Mug 5 stars because it meets my expectations completely. Pleased with it I am. Zazzle mugs are well fabricated, microwave and dishwasher safe. And this yellow red and blue panoramic wraparound motif is sealed with a durable and sparkling Orca polished gloss glaze finish. It’ll never rub off! The size and energy of two jostling figures and a burly goal keeper fit the mug's circular shape well. There's momentum in the carousel effect as the two jostling figures repeat and move right around the mug and meet a burly goal keeper. Big sharp original images precisely drawn and delicately captured in blue and red with plenty of bright yellow! An ideal gift for anyone who plays ball! A fun gift for all beachball and football fans. A pair with the Retro Grey-Grain Beachball Player Mug. Available in two sizes and several styles including Black Ringer, Travelling, and Stern. Go have a peek!
