St. Tarcisius of Rome Roundel (BF 004) Giant Coffee Mug
Variously identified as a layman, a deacon, or—most often--a young acolyte (accounts vary), St. Tarcisius of Rome (mid 3rd century) is venerated for his devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. + According to tradition, during the Valerian persecutions, the young St. Tarcisius volunteered to take Holy Communion to imprisoned Christians. Being just a boy, his elders believed no one in authority would expect him to be such a courier. On his way to the prison, however, St. Tarcisius was set upon by a pagan mob or gang of ruffian boys and stoned or beaten to death for refusing to surrender the hosts he was carrying. + Here, a pre-teen St. Tarcisius, clad in a white tunic and pink mantle, is depicted bruised and broken and lying on a step at the base of a column. He has been stoned. Clotted blood mats his hair; stones lay on the ground in front of him. Eyes closed, his head lolls to the left. He is clearly dying. Nevertheless, he tightly clutches the Eucharist, indicated by a white glow, to his chest. On the column, a graffito of four letters is scrawled in red (blood?): SPQR, an abbreviation for the phrase Senatus Populusque Romanus, that is (idiomatically translated), The Senate and People of Rome. The scene is enclosed in a thin round frame ornamented with gold bosses and turquoise lozenges. We have provided a background that resembles a highly polished granite surface in yellows, oranges, and reds. + St. Tarcisius is patron saint of First Communicants—especially boys making their First Holy Communion, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHCs), and altar servers. + Interest in this saint was rekindled and popularized in the 19th century with the publication of Nicholas Cardinal Wiseman’s internationally best-selling novel ‘Fabiola: A Tale of the Church of the Catacombs' (1854). See especially: Chapter XXII (The Viaticum). + Feast: August 15 + Image Credit (BF 004): Antique image of St. Tarcisius entitled Hostia pro Hostia [Host for The Host] with Spanish text, from an early 20th-century die-cut devotional print on ‘canvas’ or ‘linen’ paper (No. 5328), originally published by Boumard et Fils, Paris, France, from the designer’s private collection of religious ephemera.

My husband had been complaining that all my coffee mugs were too small. I bought him the jumbo mug for Christmas and he loves it. The cup is made nicely and is not too heavy. The mug came in a box about 3 times the size of it. It was wrapped in several feet of large bubble pack. Thankfully that kept it from any shipping damage. I was a little worried when the heavy clear packing tape was taped right over my image but I was able to slowly peel it away and nothing was damaged. The printing is excellent. I am thrilled to see how clear the image printed. There do not appear to be any defects in the printing. The printing is smooth and seamless on the cup. I love how it turned out.

This mug will be a Christmas Gift and I think it turned out great! I used Photoshop Elements to edit the photos that I included. The description of the product included a DESIGNER TIP which specified the size in inches of the design space: "this product’s customizable design area measures 4" high x 10.5" wide." This information is greatly appreciated and it is usually missing. Please include the size - in inches - of the design space for all products. It makes my life much nicer!! I am very pleased with the print quality AND the mug itself. Zazzle offers many sizes of mugs, which I appreciate.
