Abstract

The statue of St. Paul was created in the second half of the 18th century by an anonymous helper of Antoni Gegenbaur. Saint Paul was originally named Saul and was a zealous persecutor of Christians until his conversion. Then he took the name Paul and began his apostolic activity. He suffered a martyr's death by decapitation with a sword, which is why it is his attribute.
