The Conversion of Saint Paul The Apostle. 2021 by Stephen B. Whatley

The Conversion of Saint Paul The Apostle 2021 by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley.

 

This new work of prayer was commenced on the Feast of The Conversion of St Paul, January 25th and completed two days ago, the Feast of St Thomas Aquinas.

 

Historical accounts suggest Saul, as the Apostle was first known, was short bald and red-haired - the essence of whom the artist felt through the Holy Spirit.

 

Saul was persecuting Christians until the miraculous visitation of Jesus stopped him in his tracks; leaving him blind for three days before being miraculously healed.

 

Saint Paul called himself the least of the Apostles because of his guilt at persecuting the church when he was called upon by Christ to change and evangelise the Truth.
