Saint Philip the Apostle, born in the early 1st century in Bethsaida, Galilee, was one of Christ’s Twelve Apostles, known for his practical faith and missionary zeal. Called by Jesus (John 1:43), he brought Nathanael to the fold and questioned the feeding of the 5,000 (John 6:5-7), showing a pragmatic streak. After Pentecost, tradition holds he preached in Greece, Syria, and Phrygia, converting many with his daughters—reputed prophetesses—before his martyrdom around 80 AD in Hierapolis, where he was crucified upside-down or stoned, per early accounts like the *Acts of Philip*. His death crowned a life of witness. | Saint Philip the Apostle, born in the early 1st century in Bethsaida, Galilee, was one of Christ’s Twelve Apostles, known for his practical faith and missionary zeal.
