Crucifixion of Christ Orthodox Christian Black Coffee Mug

The Holy and Life-giving Crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ stands at the very centre of the Christian faith and the entire history of the world. On Great and Holy Friday, the Son of God was betrayed, tried before Pontius Pilate, crowned with thorns, scourged and led to Golgotha, the Place of the Skull, outside Jerusalem, where He was crucified between two thieves. He hung upon the Cross for six hours, speaking seven last words of incomparable depth and love, before giving up His spirit into the hands of the Father. The wood of the Cross, instrument of shame and death, became by His willing sacrifice the tree of life and the sign of victory over sin, death and the devil. In the Orthodox Church the Crucifixion is commemorated with great solemnity on Great Friday and the veneration of the precious Cross is a central act of Orthodox worship throughout the year, with the faithful kissing the Cross as the sign of their salvation.

"Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34)

O Lord Jesus Christ, who in Thy boundless love didst stretch forth Thy holy hands upon the Cross and accept death for our salvation, grant us the grace to take up our own cross daily and to follow Thee on the way of love and self-giving. Amen.

This mug makes a deeply meaningful gift for baptisms, name days, Great Lent, Easter, Christmas or any occasion where the sacrifice and love of Christ is contemplated and celebrated.
