St. Bartholomew
Saint Bartholomew was one of the twelve Apostles chosen by the Savior of the world. Many learned theologians have considered him to be the same person as Nathanael, the Israelite without guile”, mentioned in St. John’s Gospel (1:29-51). Born in Cana of Galilee, he was a doctor in the Jewish law, and became a faithful disciple of Jesus; he was one of the witnesses of His miracles and of His glorious Resurrection. He is also mentioned among the other disciples who were gathered together in the Upper Room after the Ascension of Christ praying, and who received the Holy Ghost with the rest.
Tradition tells us that after the Ascension he preached the Gospel in Northwest India and in Asia Minor, and that he suffered martyrdom in Greater Armenia. In this latter place he converted to the Christian Faith the King, Polymius, and his Queen, and likewise twelve cities. This excited great hatred against him on the part of the priests of that nation. They constantly inflamed Astyages, brother of Polymius the King, against the Apostle, to such a degree that he commanded Bartholomew to be flayed alive in a most cruel manner, and to be beheaded; in which martyr- dom he gave up his soul to God.
