The Birth of the Christian ChurchЗагвар

Damascus is located in Syria and is one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world. Apparently, many of the early Christians fled to Damascus after Stephen was stoned to death by the Jewish leadership. Saul intended to find those who had fled Jerusalem, intending to harm them. Saul’s miraculous conversion is one of the key events in Christian history.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
