Main altar at the Catholic Cathedral of Dionysius the Areopagite in Athens, (Greece).

Dionysius the Areopagite was the judge of the Areopagus who, as related in the Acts of the Apostles, (Acts 17:34), was converted to Christianity by the preaching of the Apostle Paul. According to Dionysius of Corinth, quoted by Eusebius, this Dionysius then became a bishop of Athens. In the early 6th century, a series of famous writings of a mystical nature, employing Neoplatonic language to elucidate Christian theological and mystical ideas, was ascribed to the Areopagite. They have long been recognized as pseudepigrapha) and are now attributed to "Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite" (Wikipedia).
