Statue of St. Bartholomew

Bartholomew
was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, and is usually identified with Nathanael, alternatively
Nathaniel. Jesus immediately
characterizes him as "Here is a man
in whom there is no deception."
Eusebius of Caesarea's
Ecclesiastical History (v §10) states that after the Ascension, Bartholomew
went on a missionary tour to India, where he left behind a copy of the Gospel
of Matthew. Along with his fellow apostle
Jude, Bartholomew
is reputed to have brought Christianity
to Armenia in the 1st century. Thus both saints are
considered the patron saints of the
Armenian Apostolic Church. In the course of time Bartholomew's name to became associated with medicine and hospitals.

[1] Marco d'Agrate (c. 1504 -c. 1574) was an Italian sculptor of the Rennaissance period, active mainly in Lombardy. His best known work is the morbidly, pathologically correct statue of St Bartholomew Flayed (1562) found in the transept of the Cathedral of Milan. He signed it with a line that states: I was not made by Praxiteles but by Marco d'Agrate.
God goes with me wherever I go. You can indeed afford to laugh at fear thoughts, remembering that God goes with you wherever you go. You can never be deprived of your perfect holiness because its Source goes with you wherever you go. You can never suffer because the Source of all joy goes with you wherever you go. You can never be alone because the Source of all life goes with you wherever you go. Nothing can destroy your peace of mind because God goes with you wherever you go. It is quite possible to reach God; it is the most natural thing in the world. You might even say it is the only natural thing in the world. The way will open, if you believe that it is possible. Lesson 41
