new fresco of St paul.jpgThe religious and art worlds are abuzz with the latest find: an early 6th century image of the Apostle Paul in Naples. The discovery happened in the Catacombs of San Gennaro.

Gianfranco Cardinal Ravasi said "The image of Saint Paul has an intense expression, philosophical and its discovery enriches our image of one of the principal apostles."

The story of the new image is found in the culture section of L'Osservatore Romano.
