St. Paul's Pillar 2 According to a local legend, the supposed "St. Paul's Pillar" is the place to which Paul was tied and received 39 lashes when he preached in Paphos. Roman Governor Sergius Paulus was said to have ordered the arrest and punishment prior to his own conversion to Christianity.<br/> <br/> The legend itself is late in origin. Medieval pilgrims visiting the site made no mention of this pillar but instead recorded visiting an underground prison in which Paul was held.
