Kneeling in reverence, St. Paul gazes upward at Christ, who stands with an expression of blessing and divine authority. The apostle’s posture evokes humility and fierce devotion, while the sword at his side symbolizes both his martyrdom and his spiritual calling to wield the Word of God. Draped in a flowing cloak with subtle hints of armor, Paul embodies the faithful soldier referenced in his epistles—prepared not for earthly battle, but for unwavering proclamation of the gospel. Christ’s raised hand and radiant halo affirm Paul’s mission, calling him to boldness in the face of persecution and grace in the service of truth.
