Then Paul stood up at the Areopagus and said: “You Athenians, I see that in every respect you are very religious. For as I walked around looking carefully at your shrines, I even discovered an altar inscribed, ‘To an Unknown God.’ What therefore you unknowingly worship, I proclaim to you. The God who made the world and all that is in it, the Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in sanctuaries made by human hands, nor is he served by human hands because he needs anything. Rather it is he who gives to everyone life and breath and everything.” (17:22-28). This is the moment featured by Antonella Napolione, commissioned by the Vatican City State Mint, and depicted on the 20 euro gold coin, the next in the series of numismatic issues focusing on what happened after the resurrection of Christ.
