Saint James the Lesser, born in the early 1st century in Galilee, was one of Christ’s Twelve Apostles, known as “the Lesser” to distinguish him from James, son of Zebedee. Son of Alphaeus and possibly Mary of Clopas—some identify him with “James, the brother of the Lord”—he followed Jesus, witnessing His ministry and Resurrection. After Pentecost, he preached in Judea, becoming a pillar of the Jerusalem Church until his martyrdom around 62 AD, when Jewish leaders stoned or clubbed him to death, per Josephus and Hegesippus, for refusing to deny Christ. His steadfastness marked him as an early Christian leader. | Saint James the Lesser, born in the early 1st century in Galilee, was one of Christ’s Twelve Apostles, known as “the Lesser” to distinguish him from James, son of Zebedee.
