'''Bartholomew''' (died c. 69) was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ and a [[Saints|Christian saint]], venerated for his missionary work and martyrdom. Born in the 1st century in [[Galilee]], [[Roman Empire]], he is traditionally identified as Nathanael, introduced to Jesus by Philip in the Gospel of John. Bartholomew preached the Gospel in regions including [[Jerusalem]], India, and Armenia, where he met his martyrdom by being flayed alive. His steadfast faith and evangelistic zeal made him a revered figure in the early [[Diocese|Christian Church]]. | '''Saint Bartholomew''' (died c. 69) was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ and a [[Saints|Christian saint]], venerated for his missionary work and martyrdom.

As an apostle, Bartholomew witnessed Christ’s ministry and resurrection, contributing to the spread of Christianity beyond Judea. His missionary journeys, documented in apocryphal texts, highlight his role in converting communities in distant lands. Recognized as a saint by pre-congregation canonization, his feast day on August 24 in the [[Roman Rite]] is celebrated with devotion, particularly in Armenia, where he is a patron. His relics, housed in the Basilica of San Bartolomeo all’Isola in [[Rome]], draw pilgrims seeking his intercession. | As an apostle, Bartholomew witnessed Christ’s ministry and resurrection, contributing to the spread of Christianity beyond Judea.
