Symbolism of the Icon of St. Paul
(Sr. Marie Paul is French-speaking.
We have left her description unaltered)
“From the very day that the Archdiocese of Toronto asked me to prepare the icon of St. Paul who is standing, I have written for you a Paul who is bold and convincing. His experience of the Christian mystery and all that he learned from the Lord himself, gives him much assurance and conviction, while the Apostle to the nations remains simple and humble. His gaze is penetrating as if he wished to transmit the sense of the infinite that is within him. His gesture gives much importance to the book of Scriptures and his letters that he bears in his hand.
His robe is blue, a color that signifies wisdom, faith, experience of God and union with God. His cloak is an earth brown color that signifies the ascetism of the desert. Paul left everything to follow Christ. As you gaze upon this icon and pray to the Apostle Paul, hear once again Paul's own words and experience his vocation: “For me, to live is Christ.” (Gal 2:20)
