St.Paul's shipwreck

The holiday blog celebrates St. Paul's Shipwreck in Malta via Malta Network Resources:

In time for the feast of St Paul's shipwreck to Malta on 10th February, here is a collection of the best links and books on our father and patron saint St Paul. This day is celebrated as a public holiday in Malta and Gozo. The shipwreck of St Paul is described in the Acts of the Apostles:27,28. Publius (who Luke calls Protos meaning leader) whose father was healed by St Paul is thought to have been the first Bishop of Malta consecrated by St Paul before he left Malta. We celebrate his feast on the 22nd January. Some think Publius might have been Maltese as it was customary for the Romans to elect a local as civil leader, rather than a Roman Governor.
