St.Pauls Islands Malta

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : One of the most vividly detailed passages in the New Testament is the story in the Acts of the Apostles of how St. Paul's ship wrecked on an island on his journey from Caesarea (in present-day Israel) to Rome to face trial. Most scholars agree that the Biblical reference to "Melita" is in fact the island of Malta. The most common view is that the wreck occurred on or around what is now called St. Paul's Island on the island's northeastern coast, which you'll see here in this drone video by Jasonaerialfilming.
