Saint Mark the Evangelist, traditionally identified as the author of the Gospel of Mark, is one of the Four Evangelists in Christian tradition. Born in Cyrene, Libya, he became a disciple of Jesus and later a companion of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. Mark is credited with founding the Church in Alexandria, where he served as its first bishop. His Gospel is noted for its vivid narrative style, particularly in depicting Jesus's miracles and passion. Mark's martyrdom in Alexandria, where he was supposedly dragged through the streets by horses, marks him as one of the early Christian martyrs. His relics were later moved to Venice, where he is one of the city's patron saints, symbolized by the winged lion, which also represents the power of the Evangelist's Gospel. | Saint Mark the Evangelist, traditionally identified as the author of the Gospel of Mark, is one of the Four Evangelists in Christian tradition.
