I've created these graphics from direct observation and reconstruction of religious art using a variety of graphical applications and a lot of time. Some are made available with permission of the Aid Association for Lutherans/Lutheran Brotherhood. If you want any of them in their original ".PNG" format, request it by email and I will try to send it as soon as I can.

This shield is the symbol of Saint Paul. He has assigned to him the image of a sword, for he was a persecutor of the Church. The book indicates his conversion into the greatest preacher of the Church.

His shield is usually shown in red, the book in white with red letters. The sword is usually shown in gold.
