On the road to Damascus, Saul—once a fierce persecutor of Christians—encounters the risen Christ, leading to his dramatic conversion and renaming as Paul.

While journeying to Damascus to arrest believers, Saul was suddenly enveloped by a brilliant light and fell to the ground. He heard the voice of Jesus asking, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" This encounter transformed him from a staunch opponent of the faith into a passionate proclaimer of the Gospel. Renamed Paul, he became one of the most influential missionaries in the early Church.
This conversion is celebrated as a profound testament to the transformative power of God’s grace.
