August 24th - Feast of St. Bartholomew
One of the twelve apostles St. Bartholomew was brought to Christ by Philip. He is also known as Nathaniel. After Christ's death Bartholomew became a missionary in India and Armenia. He is said to have been martyred in Armenia where he was flayed alive and crucified. A monastery dedicated to Bartholomew was built on the site.
