After darkness, light.
This Reformed Christian 20 oz tumbler from Calvinist Apparel carries the Reformation motto Post Tenebras Lux, “After Darkness, Light.”
Post Tenebras Lux became one of the defining mottos of the Reformation, closely tied to Reformed Geneva. It sums up the recovery of the gospel after a long season of spiritual darkness, and it speaks just as well to anyone who has come through a dark season of their own. This design puts that hope on a tumbler: bold, simple, and impossible to miss.
The design
-
A single lit match: An engraved, hand-inked flame that pushes back the dark.
-
Radiating golden sunburst: Hand-drawn rays shift from pale yellow to deep amber, giving the design a glowing feel.
-
Two-tone lettering: Ornate calligraphic serif lettering above, with bold rugged capitals below.

A motto with history
The phrase echoes the Latin Bible’s rendering of Job 17:12 and was adopted as a Reformation-era motto in Geneva. It is still carved into Geneva’s Reformation Wall and used across the Reformed world. Carrying it on the road or setting it on your desk says something about where you stand, and it usually starts a good conversation.

Really happy with this tumbler! The white finish looks great with the Post Tenebras Lux design, and after 9+ months of use, the design still looks like new. It’s sturdy, comfortable to hold, and the 20oz size is perfect for everyday use. It also arrived earlier than expected over the New Year holidays. Great quality and a great experience!
