Life

Saint Bartholomew, often identified with Nathanael in the Gospel of John, was one of the twelve apostles. When Philip told him about Jesus of Nazareth, Bartholomew famously asked, “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” He is believed to have preached in India and Armenia, where he was martyred by being flayed alive.
