The Feast of the Conversion of Paul the Apostle celebrates the event on the Damascus Road when Saul the persecutor was transformed into Paul the apostle—a radical reversal that became paradigmatic for conversion in Christian tradition. Acts records this event in three versions (9:1-19, 22:3-16, 26:9-23), and Paul himself attests to the reality of a decisive encounter with the risen Christ. The feast celebrates not merely a personal transformation but the overthrow of the old covenant order and the inauguration of the Gentile mission.
