- Pope Paschal I — Pope from 817 to 824 AD, one of the great patrons of early medieval Christian art; commissioned the luminous gold-ground mosaics of the basilicas of Santa Prassede and Santa Maria in Domnica in Rome, which rank among the finest surviving examples of Byzantine-influenced Christian art in the West; his mosaics deliberately evoked the splendour of early Christian Rome.
- Pope Paschal II — Pope from 1099 to 1118 AD, whose long pontificate was dominated by the Investiture Controversy — the defining struggle of medieval Europe between the papacy and Holy Roman Emperors over who had the right to appoint (invest) bishops and abbots; his complex negotiations with Emperor Henry V produced the temporary Concordat of Sutri (1111), one of the most controversial agreements in papal history.
- Saint Paschal Baylon — Spanish Franciscan friar (1540–1592), born in Torre Hermosa, Aragon; known for his profound Eucharistic devotion and extraordinary humility; canonised by Pope Alexander VIII in 1690 and proclaimed by Pope Leo XIII in 1897 as patron of Eucharistic congresses and all Eucharistic associations worldwide; his feast day is May 17.
- Paschal Lamb (Agnus Dei) — The sacrificial lamb at the heart of the Passover Seder — and its Christian reinterpretation as a symbol of Christ ('Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world,' John 1:29) — is the deepest theological root of the name Paschal; the Agnus Dei became one of the most universal symbols of Christianity, appearing in art, liturgy, church seals, and heraldry across fifteen centuries.
