St. Bartholomew the Apostle COLLECTION (RLS 03)

Brought to Christ by St. Philip, the Apostle with whom he is most often associated, St. Bartholomew (1st century) is sometimes identified with the Nathaniel of St. John the Divine’s Gospel. After the Ascension, he preached in Asia Minor, Ethiopia, India, and Armenia. Traditionally, he met a most gruesome martyrdom being flayed or skinned alive. For this reason, his major attributes are a tanner’s knife and a human skin. + Feast: August 24 + For a short bio and list of patronages, see: catholicsaints.info/saint-bartholomew-the-apostle/ + St. Bartholomew shares a palette with the other ‘Red Letter Saints’.
