Saint Paul, a Roman citizen, was not subjected to the cruelty of crucifixion. His martyrdom came by the sword. After he was beheaded, his body was carried south of the city, and he was buried on the site of the present Basilica of Saint Paul's-outside-the-Walls.

This solemnity's ties to Rome are obvious. The two great basilicas are commemorated musically in CNP's processionals: The Loyal Sheep, inspired by Saint Peter's at the Vatican; and May Christ Be Our Life, inspired by Saint Paul's-outside-the-Walls.
