A martyr for the cause of venerating icons. During the period in the eighth century when several Byzantine Emperors implemented iconoclastic policies, forbidding the revering of icons, Paul was arrested and brought before local officials on the charge of opposing the decree. When he refused to desecrate a crucifix, he was tortured and then burned to death.
