Nuns light candles in front of a sculpture of Saint Paul during a mass in Saint Paul's church in Damascus June 29, 2008, in celebration of the birth of Saint Paul two millennia ago. Saint Paul, the great evangeliser of the early Christian Church, brought his missionary work from Damascus into Europe and the world. The sculpture is of Saint Paul being let down a wall when the disciples took him in the night. REUTERS/Khaled al-Hariri (SYRIA)
