Description Size: 5/8 inch Material: Sterling silver This art deco-style medal features a strong depiction of St Paul, one of Jesus’s most dedicated followers and the writer of most of the New Testament. He holds a book to represent his writings and a sword to show the instrument of his martyrdom. St Paul began his life with the name Saul. He was a dedicated Jew who fought against and persecuted Christians. He was on a journey to Damascus when he received a vision of Christ that was so powerful that it knocked him to the ground and blinded him. From that moment on he was converted to Christianity and to reflect the change in his life, his name was changed to Paul. He made many journeys to spread the faith and found churches throughout the Roman empire, and his letters to these churches make up a large part of the New Testament. He was martyred for his faith in Rome around the year 65 AD.
