St. Paul the Apostle (RLS 13) (Style 2) Mouse Mat

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. + Prefer a solid coloured background? Simply delete the tiled graphic.
