St. Paul the Apostle (PM 06) NB Add Label 1b

St. Paul the Apostle (1st century) is widely regarded as the second founder of Christianity. Through his prolific writings and tireless travels, St. Paul pulled off one of the biggest public relations coups in history: he took a local, predominantly Jewish religious movement and promoted it among the Gentiles into a world religion. He was martyred at Rome c. 65 by beheading. His attributes are a book of his writings, the Epistles, and a sword, the instrument of his martyrdom. St. Paul is the patron saint of reporters, journalists, and public relations personnel. + Image Credit (PM 06): Antique image of St. Paul the Apostle from a late 19th century chromoxylographic devotional print probably by Heinrich Knoefler (1824-1886) published by Friedrich Pustet, Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany, in the designer’s private collection of religious ephemera. + Feast: June 29 + Feel free to change the background and text colours.
