Tra Noi — Among Us: A Leather Prayer Journal About Love and Everyday Happiness

Tra Noi, meaning "Among Us" in Italian, is an original handcrafted leather notebook from the Sempre Accanto a Te ("Always Beside You") collection by Mureli Workshop.

Made from genuine leather in a warm copper-brown shade, this refillable journal features an original embossed artwork depicting Christ among people in a peaceful scene of everyday life.

The story behind this design is dedicated to a simple yet meaningful idea: Christ can be beside us not only when life is difficult. He can also be near when everything is going well.

We created this notebook for prayer, spiritual reflection, gratitude, meditation, and everyday writing. It can be used as a Christian prayer journal, devotional notebook, or personal journal.

The genuine leather cover, dark suede interior, metal six-ring mechanism, and replaceable paper inserts make Tra Noi more than a symbolic gift. It is a practical notebook designed for regular use and continued writing.

Tra Noi — Christ Among People, Not Only in Suffering

In Christian tradition, the image of Christ is often associated with sacrifice, hardship, and suffering.

But when we were developing the Sempre Accanto a Te collection, we wanted to explore another side of this story.

What if he could also be present in ordinary human life?

When people meet, talk, share food, spend time together, and simply enjoy being alive.

That is the atmosphere we wanted to capture in the artistic composition Tra Noi — Among Us.

The embossed artwork on the leather cover depicts a peaceful scene featuring Christ and other people, surrounded by natural elements and details associated with sharing a meal.

There is no dramatic event and no extraordinary act of heroism.

There is simply presence, closeness, and everyday human life.

This composition reflects the thought that a person should not have to experience tragedy to be worthy of love. No one needs to become a hero for their life to have meaning.

For a Christian, Tra Noi may symbolize the presence of Christ in everyday life. For someone else, it may represent love, hospitality, compassion, togetherness, and the simple joy of spending time with people who matter.

We leave the meaning of this artistic story open to each person's own interpretation.

Christian Prayer Journal — A Personal Space for Prayer and Reflection

The Tra Noi leather journal is designed for people who appreciate having a place to write down meaningful thoughts and return to them over time.

It can serve several purposes:

• Christian Prayer Journal: A personal notebook for prayers, requests, thanksgiving, and spiritual reflection.
• Devotional Journal: A place to record thoughts inspired by Scripture and Christian devotional reading.
• Gratitude Journal: A journal for appreciating people, experiences, and the small joys of everyday life.
• Sermon Notes Journal: A notebook for recording sermons, church services, religious studies, and spiritual conversations.
• Meditation Journal: A space for thoughts following meditation, contemplation, or moments of quiet reflection.
• Personal Journal: An everyday notebook for plans, memories, creative ideas, and personal experiences.

Unlike a traditional printed prayer book, Tra Noi does not contain a predetermined collection of prayers.

The owner creates the content of the journal through their own writing.

We do not want to limit this notebook exclusively to religious practice. It may also appeal to people who appreciate art, spiritual reflection, and having a personal space for writing.

Whether used for daily prayers, Bible study notes, gratitude, or ordinary journaling, Tra Noi offers a place for thoughts that deserve to be remembered.

Copper Genuine Leather — Natural Texture and Artistic Embossing

Copper is a warm copper-brown leather color with natural variations in tone and surface appearance.

The product photographs show the genuine leather's distinctive texture, warm contrasting stitching, and the characteristic contoured detail of the exterior cover.

The interior is finished with dark suede, creating a rich contrast with the warmer Copper leather exterior.

The defining artistic element of this notebook is the original Tra Noi embossed composition.

We do not use full-color printing to reproduce this artwork. Instead, the composition is embossed directly into the leather, allowing the image to become part of the material's surface while preserving its natural character.

Every notebook is manufactured by our team at Mureli Workshop, and the photographs show real products from our own production.

Because genuine leather is a natural material, individual covers may have slight differences in grain, markings, and color. Their appearance may also change gradually with use and proper care.

Refillable Leather Prayer Journal — 100 Lined Pages Included

Tra Noi features a metal six-ring binder mechanism that allows the paper pages to be removed and replaced.

When the notebook is filled, there is no need to purchase another leather cover. Simply replace the paper with compatible refill inserts and continue writing.

The standard notebook includes 100 lined pages.

Customers may also purchase an additional 100 pages, increasing the total to 200 pages.

Important: The product photographs show the notebook with 200 pages to demonstrate its construction and the option of using additional paper. The standard product price includes 100 pages, not 200. The additional 100 pages are available as an optional purchase.

An elastic pen loop is positioned along the outer edge of the leather cover for convenient everyday use.

Notebook Dimensions and Paper Compatibility

The refillable leather notebook is designed to accommodate two popular paper formats:

• A5: 148 × 210 mm.
• US Half Letter: 8.5 × 5.5 inches.

Leather cover dimensions:

• Closed notebook: 9 × 7 inches (approximately 230 × 180 mm).
• Open notebook: Approximately 9 × 14.6 inches.
• Ring diameter: Approximately 25 mm (0.9 inches).
• Paper attachment: Metal six-ring binder mechanism.
• Included paper: 100 lined pages.
• Optional additional paper: 100 extra pages, for a total of 200.

When purchasing replacement paper, please check both the sheet dimensions and the hole spacing to ensure compatibility with the six-ring mechanism.

This refillable construction makes the journal especially practical for prayer notes, devotional writing, spiritual reflections, and personal records that develop over many years.

Original Tra Noi Artwork — A Permanent Part of the Design

The embossed image of Christ and the other figures is a fixed, original artistic composition.

We do not replace this artwork with another illustration, photograph, logo, or custom graphic.

This is an intentional decision for the Sempre Accanto a Te collection. Each of its three artistic compositions tells a distinct story and forms part of the collection's larger creative concept.

Customers who would like to add a personal touch may inquire about additional personalization, such as a name, initials, date, or short inscription.

The placement and feasibility of any additional personalization must be approved separately. It must not cover, alter, or interfere with the central embossed artwork.

Our intention is to preserve the artistic identity of Tra Noi while allowing the notebook to become a meaningful personal possession.

Meaningful Christian Gift — A Journal with Its Own Story

Tra Noi can be a thoughtful gift for someone who values Christian faith, prayer, spiritual reflection, or the artistic message behind this collection.

It may be especially meaningful for parents, godparents, priests, pastors, spiritual mentors, and loved ones.

This handcrafted leather prayer journal can be given for:

• Christmas and Easter.
• Baptisms and confirmations.
• Birthdays and personal milestones.
• Gifts for parents and godparents.
• Gifts for priests, pastors, and spiritual leaders.
• Christian retreats and devotional gatherings.
• Special occasions that deserve a personal keepsake.

However, the meaning of Tra Noi extends beyond the idea of a traditional religious gift.

Sometimes we want to give something simply to remind another person that their life matters, and that love and care should not depend on how many difficulties they have endured.

May life hold more ordinary happy days, more time with loved ones, and more moments worth remembering.

That is the wish we wanted to express through the artistic story of Tra Noi.

Sempre Accanto a Te — An Original Collection by Mureli Workshop

Tra Noi is one of three artistic compositions in the Sempre Accanto a Te collection, whose Italian name means "Always Beside You."

Each composition is offered in three genuine leather colors, allowing customers to choose a combination of artwork and material that feels personally meaningful.

The collection began with its creator's unexpected desire to look at the image of Christ from a different perspective: not only through suffering and sacrifice, but also through love, companionship, and the possibility of an ordinary, happy life.

The original concept was developed by Sviatoslav Syvash, owner of Mureli Workshop, who led the workshop's team in bringing the project to life in September 2026.

Our team manufactures the leather covers in our own workshop, working directly with genuine materials, carefully assembled construction details, and artistic embossing.

Explore all three artistic stories and the available leather colors in the Sempre Accanto a Te — Christian Leather Prayer Journals & Notebooks Collection.

Tra Noi — "Among Us." A reminder that love can also be present when everything is going well.

At Mureli Workshop, we believe that choosing the right leather is just as important as the craftsmanship itself. We carefully select materials according to each product's purpose, design, and intended use.

For personal accessories and luxury leather goods, we often prioritize natural texture, softness, distinctive character, and the way leather develops over time. For hospitality and commercial products, durability, structural stability, and ease of maintenance may be more important. This is why we work with different types of genuine leather, including natural and polymer-coated finishes.

Before production, we inspect and select suitable leather sections based on their strength, flexibility, texture, and appearance.

For individual custom orders and large corporate projects, we can also source specific leather types, colors, thicknesses, and finishes to match your vision and requirements.

As genuine leather is a natural material, slight variations in color and texture may occur, depending on the leather type and finish.

Any personalization shown in the photos in our listings, including logos, names, initials, or text, is provided for demonstration purposes only. By default, we sell our products without personalization. If you would like to add your own logo, name, or text, please leave your request in the Comment field during checkout.

In many cases, we can complete laser engraving directly at the warehouse and ship the order on the same day, so this usually does not affect the dispatch time. If embossing with a metal die is required, the work is completed in our workshop in Ukraine, so delivery usually takes about 9 days instead of 1–3 days for orders shipped from our warehouse in the USA.

If the personalization includes the customer’s logo, our designer first prepares a digital mockup for approval. For wholesale and corporate orders, we also produce the first item from the batch as a sample, approve it separately, and only after the second approval do we proceed with the full production run.

If the order is shipped from Ukraine, we independently pay all customs duties and mandatory charges regardless of the destination country, so the customer does not face additional costs or difficulties when receiving the parcel.
