St. Paul in Malta and The Early Christian Era - Full-Day Tour
In the year 60 AD a big storm hit the Maltese Islands which brought a galley with 47 persons aboard in one of the beautiful bays of Malta. Among the crew there was the Apostle Paul known as Saulus from Tarcus. Accompanying the apostle Paul was Luke, a medical doctor by profession and proficient in writing. St. Luke the Evangelist wrote an interesting description of the shipwreck of St. Paul on the islands, where he described the local people as barbarians as they did not speak Latin or Greek.
Saint Paul healed many locals including Publius’ father, later also baptising him in the town of Melita. During the tour, the guide will first take you to Rabat, thus visiting St. Paul’s Grotto (ticket included) where the Apostle Paul lived for three months. A walk through the narrow winding streets of Rabat would give a taste of the early medieval architecture.
You will then visit St. Paul’s Cathedral (ticket included) in Mdina, where you can enjoy the splendour of the artistic works inside the temple and follow the history of the role of St. Publius as the first bishop ordained by Apostle Paul.
Finally, the bus will drive to St. Paul’s Bay where the shipwreck occurred in 60 AD. An interesting walk on the garigue will bring you closer to the historical events in the early Christian era after the apostle Paul. It is highly recommended to wear good walking shoes. Free time for lunch will be given at around 1300 hrs."
