SAINT PAUL

St. Paul and Ninety Companions

Feast day: February 10

Death: 1240

  Dominican martyrs. Originally from Hungary, Paul studied law at the renowned University of Bologna and was subsequently convinced by St. Dominic himself to join the Order of Friars Preachers. Paul returned to Hungary and worked to establish the order throughout the kingdom. He then went with the so called Ninety Companions to Wallachia, where he hoped to convert the pagan Cumans. The wild tribesman refused to hear his words and slaughtered Paul and his fellow missionaries.
