SAINTS DAYS IN MAY
3 May Philipp and St James the Less
Two apostles whose actual dates of death are not known are commemorated
on one day because a Basilica in Rome was dedicated to them. All reference
to them is found in the New Testament.
Several disciples of Jesus are called James. Only of two of them we know for
definite who they were: The elder James, also called ‘St James the Great’, Son
of Zebedee, whose grave is venerated at Santiago de Compostella, which is
the destination of the pilgrim paths of St James – and the other James, who is
said to be the brother of Jesus. Protestant tradition assures us that he is not
identical with James number 3, the Son of Alpheus, since they take the word
‘brother’ literally, although it could mean ‘cousin’ in Old Testament tradition.
