Sts. Philip and James were Apostles (see Matthew 10:2-4, Mark 3:16-19 Luke 5:10-11). According to tradition, Philip evangelized parts of Syria and Greece. He was crucified in the city of Hierpolis for the faith. St. James (known as the “Lesser”) is identified as the “son of Alphaeus” in Roman Catholic tradition, thus making him the same person as James the Just, the first bishop of Jerusalem; this James is not the same person as James the son of Zebedee and the brother of John (James the Greater). |
