Do You Know Me - August 14, 2022

Do You Know ME....?
 
I am an Apostle, but very few people know me! I am often times associated with Phillip, for we were both called at the same time. Though I am often times reffered to, erroneously, as a ‘brother’ of Christ; I am the son of Alpheus and Mary of Clopas.
 
Eventually, I became the Bishop of Jerusalem and was martyred. According to tradition, I was taken to the pinnacle of the Temple (the same one Christ was taken to when lucifer was tempting Him) and told to deny the Lord. When I wouldn’t, I was hurled from the pinnacle. When this did not kill me, they finished me off with a blow from a club.
 
I am the patron Saint of fullers (makers of bulkier cloth by beating them with a club) and at times, have been called the ‘Lesser’
 

I am...... James the Lesser
