St. Bartholomew,
Apostle and
Martyr
August 24
It is thought that he was a close friend of Saint Philip; his name is
always mentioned in the Gospels in connection with him, and it was
Philip who brought Bartholomew to Jesus. Tradition says that he
preached in Asia Minor, Ethiopia, India and Armenia. He was Martyred by
being flayed alive at Albanopolis, Armenia; his relics are at St
Bartholomew-on-the-Tiber Church, Rome, and in the cathedral in
Canterbury, England.
- He is the
patron
of
Armenia, bookbinders, butchers, cobblers, Forentine cheese and
salt merchants, leather workers, nervous diseases,
neurological diseases, plasterers, shoemakers, tanners, trappers,
twitching, and whiteners.
