Biography
Saint Paul the Apostle, originally known as Saul, was born in approximately 3 AD in Tarsus, Cilicia (modern-day Turkey). He was a Jewish Talmudic student and a Pharisee by profession. Saul harbored a deep animosity towards Christians and actively persecuted them, even participating in the stoning of Saint Stephen the Martyr.
