St Pauls Islands - (Il-Gżejjer ta' San Pawl(
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Malta's St. Paul's Island is so named by reference to a story from the New Testament. Formally known as Selmunett, the small island lies off the main island's northeastern coast near Selmun. It is believed by many biblical scholars to be the spot where St. Paul's ship ran aground on his way to Rome in 60 AD, as vividly described in Chapter 28 of Acts of the Apostles. The purported wreck is memorialized by a statue of St. Paul, which was erected in 1844 and can be seen in this excellent drone video by AirVuz contributor jbpix_.

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:
It is thought that the name of the island comes from Paul the Apostle. It is believed that Paul was on his boat during 60AD, only to find himself shipwrecked. He, along with others from the boat swam to safety at the shore, before being looked after the people of Malta. Before they carried on with their journey, Paul and his fellow travellers introduced the Maltese people to Christianity and transformed the island. In celebration of him guiding the way, the island offshore was called St Paul’s Island in his honour.
