This stained glass design depicts the biblical story of Saint Paul on the island of Malta, where, as recounted in Acts 28:3-6, a viper latched onto his hand while he gathered wood for a fire. Though the islanders expected him to perish, Paul remained unharmed, demonstrating God's divine protection over his servant. This miraculous event not only affirmed Paul's status as a true apostle but also led to the conversion of many on the island. This powerful scene serves as a reminder of unwavering faith and God’s omnipotent grace in the face of adversity.
