Russian Orthodox Christian Coffee Mug

The Russian Orthodox Church is the largest autocephalous church in the entire Orthodox world, with the greatest number of faithful of any Orthodox church, and one of the most extraordinary institutions in the history of Christianity. Christianity came to the Russian people through the Baptism of Kievan Rus in 988 under Saint Vladimir the Great, and in the ten centuries since then the Russian Orthodox Church has produced an incomparable treasury of saints, theologians, iconographers, monastics and martyrs. From Saint Sergius of Radonezh to Saint Seraphim of Sarov, from Saint Alexander Nevsky to the Holy Royal Family, from Saint John of Kronstadt to Saint Silouan the Athonite, the Russian Orthodox Church has given to the world some of the greatest saints of all time. The Russian tradition of iconography, represented above all by the icon of the Holy Trinity painted by Saint Andrei Rublev, is one of the supreme achievements of Christian art. The 20th century brought the greatest persecution of Christians since the Roman era, with millions martyred, imprisoned and exiled under the Soviet regime, yet the Church survived and has been reborn with new vitality in the decades since the fall of communism.

"Acquire the Spirit of Peace and thousands around you will be saved." (Saint Seraphim of Sarov)

O Lord Jesus Christ, through the prayers of all the saints of the Russian Orthodox Church, especially Saints Sergius, Seraphim and all the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia, bless and protect the Russian Orthodox people and their holy Church and grant them to shine as lights in the world. Amen.

This mug makes a deeply meaningful gift for baptisms, name days, Russian Orthodox feast days, Easter, Christmas or any occasion where Russian Orthodox faith, spirituality and the great tradition of the Church are celebrated.
