Celtic Christianity was alive with blessings. The Celts spoke of the thin place where a person could be closer to the divine. Some people have that thin place in their hearts and see the world as full of blessings. These mugs can share your sense of gratitude for all things, including the earth and the sky and the sea.
The mug directly below these words bears the Irish wedding blessing, dear words for launching a couple into their new life together.
Other mugs have heartfelt words, too, and some blessings even contain a tongue in cheek blessing that you can outwit the devil.
Of course, St. Patrick's famous prayer, called alternately the Breastplate, the Lorca, or the Deer's Cry, carry words of deep connection to all of Creation. These powerful words can enter deep into your heart and become your inner meditation.

Thank you Frank. I could never grasp Gaelic talk - Gaeltacht.
Fabulous mugs Sheila. Celtic Sunburst cross for me every time!

sheilamarie, Thank you for practical information, pretty pictures and product lines.
The blessing, the breastplate and the Celtic cross mugs are my favorites. Additionally, I find the Irish magic and the teddy bear mugs charmingly irresistible.
Whenever I purchase something as special as this in the way of china-, glass- and silver-ware, I worry about keeping them as shining and sparkling as the day that I bought them. What would you recommend as an environmentally friendly way of cleaning, particularly in terms of how water can leave marks and minerals and of what dark-colored drinks can do?
Thanks, Kinworm. I'm sending a couple of them to my family members.
I'm sure anyone would be lucky to receive one of these pretty St. Patrick's day mugs.
