Conversion of Paul of Tarsus

Today, Christians commemorate the conversion of Paul of Tarsus. Persecutor of the first disciples of Jesus, he ended up converting and proclaiming himself an apostle (outside of the 12). He became a major figure in the spread of Christianity outside Jewish circles in Asia Minor, Greece and Rome. He also becomes the Apostle of Nations. His letters, written before the Gospels, are the oldest documents of Christianity. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #25January #PaulOfTarsus #SaintPaul #Christianity
