St. Luke
Saint Luke was bom at Antioch, Syria. He was a physician and a Gentile, skilled in the Greek tongue. After his conversion to Christianity, he became a follower of St. Paul, who calls him his “fellow laborer”, and “Luke, the be loved physician”.
St. Luke the Evangelist
St. Luke is the inspired writer of the Third Gospel and also of the Acts of the Apostles. He was instructed in the Christian Faith by the Apostle Paul, who had never been with Jesus in the flesh, but also by the other Apostles. Therefore, he wrote his Gospel from what he had heard; but he compiled the Acts of the Apostles what he had himself seen. He is the evangelist, poet, artist and cantor of the Holy Infancy of the Savior of Mankind
He accompanied St. Paul on his second and third mit missionary journeys, and when St. Paul was sent to Rome as a prisoner from Jerusalem in the year 61, St. Luke attended him and had the happiness of seeing him set free in the year 63, the year in which he finished writing his Acts of the Apostles. He continued with St. Paul after his release, and the great Apostle, during his last imprisonment wrote that his other friends had all left him and that only Luke was with him.
After the martyrdom of St. Paul, St. Luke is said to have preached in Italy, Gaul, Dalmatia and Macedon. He is venerated as a Martyr, and as having suffered near Achaia, in Greece. His relics were distributed among many churches, and St. Gregory is said to have brought the head of St. Luke from Constantinople to Rome, and to have deposited it in the church of his monastery of St. Andrew.
Some of his relics are also kept in the great Grecian monastery of Mount Athos. St. Luke was never married, and lived to be eighty-four years old. According to tradition, he was a skilled artist, and several pictures of Our Blessed Lady, venerated in Rome and elsewhere, are attributed to his brush.
