White Orthodox Cross Black Coffee Mug

The White Orthodox Cross design presents the eight-pointed Orthodox Cross in the purest and most luminous of all colours, white, the colour of purity, of holiness, of baptismal grace and of the divine light that transfigured our Lord on Mount Tabor and that will illuminate the new creation at the end of the age. White is the colour of the Resurrection, the colour worn by the newly baptised as they emerge from the waters of the font as new creatures in Christ, the colour of the garments of the angels and of the saints in the heavenly Kingdom, the colour of the light that appeared to the holy women at the empty tomb on the morning of the first Pascha. In Orthodox iconography white is the colour of divine holiness and of the transfigured human body, the body that has been filled with the uncreated divine light through the grace of the Holy Spirit. The white cross therefore proclaims the purity and holiness to which every Christian is called through baptism and the sacramental life of the Church, the goal of theosis, the deification of the human person through union with the divine nature, which is the heart of Orthodox Christian spirituality and the ultimate destiny of every soul that opens itself to the grace of God.

"Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow." (Psalm 51:7)

O Lord Jesus Christ, who on Mount Tabor wast transfigured before thy disciples and whose garments became white as light, grant us through the grace of thy holy Cross and the life of the Church to be transformed and made radiant with the light of thy divinity, that we may be found worthy of the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen.

This mug makes a pure and beautiful gift for baptisms, name days, feast days, Easter, Christmas or any occasion where the holiness, purity and luminous grace of the Orthodox faith is celebrated and honoured.
