Saint Paul was originally named Saul, who was a Jewish Talmud follower. The early days of Saul saw him hating the Christians so much that when Saint Stephen was stoned, he was one of those who cast at him.
He was going to Damascus to arrest some Christians when he fell to the ground and got blinded by a great light from the heavens. At this time, he received a message that his persecution of the Christians is like doing the same to Jesus.
Because of this, he was converted as a Christian and his name was changed to Paul (and later on upon his canonization - Saint Paul). He later was a staunch supporter and propagator of the Christian religion, traveling far and wide to preach Christ’s Words. He later became a martyr and Catholic saint.
St Paul is the Patron Saint of Authors, Publishers, and Writers. He is dearly remembered on January 25th, celebrating his conversion to Christianity.
