Saint James the Greater, Apostle and martyr. Brother of Saint John the Evangelist, he was one of the first to answer Our Lord's call: “Going on from there, he saw two other brothers: James, son of Zebedee, and his brother John […]. He called them, and they left the boat and their father and followed him.” (Mt 4:21-22). He was present at Jesus's Transfiguration and Agony. Beheaded in Jerusalem by order of Herod Agrippa, he was the first of the Apostles to receive the crown of martyrdom. He proclaimed the Savior in Spain, and his remains rest in Compostela, Galicia.
