Jerusalem Orthodox Christian Black Coffee Mug

The Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem is the most ancient of all the Christian patriarchates and the mother church of all Christianity, the church founded by the Apostles themselves in the very city where our Lord was crucified, buried and rose from the dead. Jerusalem is the holiest city on earth for all Christians, the city where the Last Supper was celebrated, where Christ was arrested, tried, crucified and buried, and where He rose from the dead on the third day and appeared to His disciples before ascending to heaven. The Patriarchate of Jerusalem is the guardian of the holy places of Christianity including the Church of the Holy Sepulchre built over the site of the Crucifixion and Resurrection, the Garden of Gethsemane, the Upper Room, the Via Dolorosa and many others. The Holy Fire, a miraculous flame that appears in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on Holy Saturday every year, is one of the most ancient and celebrated miracles in the entire Orthodox Christian world, witnessed by pilgrims from every corner of the earth. The Patriarchate also guards the great Monastery of Saint Sabas in the Judean desert, founded in the 5th century, which produced Saint John of Damascus and remains one of the greatest monastic communities in Orthodoxy.

"If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill." (Psalm 137:5)

O Lord Jesus Christ, who didst choose Jerusalem as the city of thy Passion, Death and glorious Resurrection, through the prayers of all the saints who have prayed and struggled in the Holy City, protect and bless the Orthodox faithful of Jerusalem and all who make pilgrimage to the holy places with faith and devotion. Amen.

This mug makes a profoundly meaningful gift for baptisms, name days, pilgrims, feast days, Easter, Christmas or any occasion where the holiest city of Christianity and the ancient faith of the Jerusalem Church is celebrated.
