American Orthodox Christian Black Coffee Mug

Orthodox Christianity in America represents one of the most remarkable and dynamic chapters in the entire history of the Church, the transplanting of the ancient apostolic faith into the New World through wave after wave of immigration from Orthodox homelands in Greece, Russia, Serbia, Romania, Antioch and beyond, and through the extraordinary missionary work that brought the faith to Alaska and the indigenous peoples of North America. The first Orthodox mission in the Americas was established in Alaska in 1794 by monks from the Valaam Monastery in Russia, led by the remarkable Father Herman who became the first saint of North America. Saint Innocent of Alaska, one of the greatest missionaries in the history of the Church, translated the Scriptures and liturgical books into the Aleut language and evangelised vast territories of Alaska and Siberia. Saint John of San Francisco guided thousands of Russian refugees to the New World. Today the Orthodox Church in America, the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, the Antiochian Archdiocese and numerous other jurisdictions serve millions of Orthodox Christians throughout the United States, maintaining the ancient faith in the most modern and dynamic nation on earth.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations." (Matthew 28:19)

O Lord Jesus Christ, through the prayers of Saint Herman of Alaska, Saint Innocent the Apostle of America, Saint John of San Francisco and all the saints of the Orthodox Church in America, bless and protect all Orthodox Christians in the United States and raise up from among the American people a great harvest of saints for thy glory. Amen.

This mug makes a meaningful gift for baptisms, name days, American Orthodox feast days, Easter, Christmas or any occasion where the Orthodox faith in America and the witness of the saints of the New World is celebrated.
