Friday, May 3: Feast of Sts. Philip and James





Philip and James were apostles of Jesus. The choice of Philip as a disciples is recorded in Matthew, Mark and Luke. John's Gospel records several conversations between Jesus and Philip, which show he was present throughout Jesus' public ministry.

James the son of Alphaeus (called 'James the Less' because he was younger than the other apostle James) is mentioned in Mark and in the Acts of the Apostles. He is the author of the Letter of James. He was martyred by stoning c.62.
