In observance of St. Luke the Physician, I’d like to share with you my fictional account of Luke’s eulogy on St. Paul, after his beheading by Nero, on the farm of Sister Lucina who, according to folklore, lived 2 miles out of Rome, on the way to the port of Ostia. Folklore also holds that Paul’s remains were laid to rest on Lucina’s place. This excerpt constitutes a brief vignette in the opening “movement” of my forthcoming novel, Paul in Spain. Enjoy!
