The Honorary Apostles: SS Paul & Barnabas (RLS20c) Coffee Mug

The choice is yours whether to add a colourful background to this handsome mug or to leave it as is! Here, pastels work best. Coordinating pastel colours (with their hex codes) from the 'Red Letter Saints' palette include: light yellow (#F8EAB9), light green (#E4E4CE), light aqua blue (#D3DFD7), light mauve (#EFD4C3), pink (#FCCCB6), and peach (#FADEB8). + Though not members of Christ's original band of The Twelve, SS. Paul and Barnabas have been given the honorific title of 'Apostle' by the Church for their seminal role in the spread of Christianity among the Gentiles. + Image Credit (RLS 20c): Figures have been extracted from the individual images of SS. Paul and Barnabas published in chromolithography with gilt accents in the antique book Red Letter Saints: Being a Series of Biographies of those Saints for which Proper Collects, Epistles and Gospels are appointed in the Book of Common Prayer. Printed by E. Kaufmann, Lahr, Baden, Germany, for the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge / S.P.C.K. (London, 1911), pp. 17 and 39 respectively. From the designer’s private library. + Texts are in dark red-brown (#460000) which matches the figures' outlines.
