Feast of St. James: Thursday July 25th. The feast day of St. James, who was the
brother of St. John the Evangelist. He accompanied
Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration and the experience of the agony in the
Garden, and in this James formed the "inner" three with Peter and
John. After the persecution of St. Paul of the newly formed Christian grouping
in Jerusalem, St. James travelled to Spain where he preached the
"Gospel". When the persecution eased off somewhat James returned to
Jerusalem where eventually he was put to death by Herod, he was beheaded with a
sword. Some of those Christians he had preached to in Spain brought back his
body and buried the
dismembered body in a place made very popular recently, the place Compostella (the field of stars) Santiago ( St. James).
This place of veneration of St. James attracts people from all over the world,
who walk great distances as part of a voluntary penance.
