World Youth Day 1993

This week's mug comes from way back in 1993.  It commemorates the Word Youth Day held in Denver Colorado (USA) and the visit of Pope John Paul II.  On the left side of the mug is the Logo for the World Youth Day with the title World Youth Day 1993.   On the right is a dark sky  with a big moon above the skyline of Denver, Colorado and the words "Denver, Colorado U.S.A.

When hot liquid is added, the dark sky clears to reveal Pope John Paul II praying over Denver.  The moon has become a big bright sun and the sky is a beautiful blue.  

The color change is one of the best in my collection, clearing so completely, you can't even see the lines which outlined the moon.  A beautiful mug.  

In addition, this mug also comes with its box!  Labeled heavily with the WYD Logo and reveals that this mug is one of 7 commemorative mugs; but is the only 'Miracle Mug' in the set.
