SAINT PAUL - DID YOU KNOW....

◇ When the king of Damascus tried to kill him, St. Paul’s friends had him climb into a basket, then they lowered him from the window in the city walls to safety.

◇ St. Paul studied with a prominent rabbi, Gamaliel, in Jerusalem when he was a teenager.

◇ St. Paul had at least one sister who lived in Jerusalem.  When Paul’s enemies planned to ambush and murder him, his sister’s son warned him and the Roman authorities.

◇ St. Paul’s first convert was Lydia, a business woman who sold purple cloth.

◇ St. Paul is represented by a sword. Around 67 AD, as a Roman citizen, Paul could not be crucified nor stoned, but rather was accorded the “honor” of beheading by a sword.

◇ St. Paul wrote 13 letters to communities or individuals.  These are in the Bible. They make up one-third of the New Testamen
