Saint Publius
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saint Publius (in Maltese, San Publju) is venerated as the first Bishop of Malta. It was the same Publius who received the Apostle Paul during his shipwreck on the island as recounted in the Acts of the Apostles. According to the Acts of the Apostles, St. Paul cured Publius' dysentery-afflicted father. In fact apart from being the particular patron saint of the town of Floriana, Saint Publius is also one of the patron saints of Malta.this would not be a good place to find the saint of acting it just came up on your screen because it had the word act it it i cant believe kyla took all her time to read this
