St.Paul's square
St.Paul's square

Saint Paul the Apostle, whose name is given to this picturesque square in London, together with Saint Peter and James the Just, is the most important of early Christian missionaries. Fourteen epistles in the ‘New Testament’ (the second half of the Christian Bible) are usually attributed to Saint Paul, who had a major influence on Christian thinking.

Paul was arrested by Roman soldiers and imprisoned first in Jerusalem and then in Caesarea, where he stayed for two years. Caesarea is a town on the Israeli Mediterranean coast located mid-way between Tel Aviv and Haifa. When Paul was travelling back to Rome he was shipwrecked on Malta, where he also preached the gospel.  Many years later, the Roman Catholic Church named the Apostle Paul the patron saint of the island.
