Saint Paul Spreads the
Gospel
Icon: 8 x 10 inches, egg tempera and gold leaf on
panel
"I have set you to be a light to the peoples, and to bring
salvation to the uttermost
parts of the earth."
Repeatedly, Paul risked his life by
sailing the Mediterranean to preach the good news in distant and
sometimes hostile cities. As shown in this little icon, he is
hardly able to contain himself, as he discusses the scriptures
with the ship's captain.
