The Story of St. James The Less.
St. James The Less, our
patron, was the oldest of the apostles. Of the twelve, two were
named
James. James the Less was so called because he was the smaller of the two. He was
the brother of St. Jude and St. Simon who were also apostles. St. James
was 96 years old when he was martyred in the year 62 by being thrown from
the temple of Jerusalem and clubbed to death by the Jews. His remains are
kept in the basilica of the Holy Angels in Rome. We
celebrate his feast day on May 11th.
