Byzantine Saints: Apostle Bartholomew of the Twelve (11 June)

About this sermon

Saint Bartholomew the Apostle, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, is commemorated on June 11. After receiving the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, Saint Bartholomew traveled throughout Syria, Asia Minor, India, and Armenia preaching the Gospel and converting countless souls to Christ. Together with Saint Philip and Saint Mariamne, he endured imprisonment, stoning, persecution, and countless hardships while performing miracles through the power of God. Among his many works were the healing of the blind, casting out demons, and bringing entire cities to the Christian Faith. Tradition records that Saint Bartholomew translated the Gospel of Matthew for the peoples of India and later evangelized Greater Armenia, where he converted King Polymius and many thousands to Christ. His missionary success provoked the anger of pagan priests and rulers, leading to his arrest and martyrdom. Saint Bartholomew was crucified upside down and, according to ancient Christian tradition, was eventually flayed alive and beheaded for his unwavering confession of Jesus Christ. His relics would later be transferred through Mesopotamia, the Black Sea region, Italy, and Rome, where they continue to be venerated. This video explores the life, miracles, missionary journeys, martyrdom, and enduring legacy of one of Christ's most courageous Apostles. May Saint Bartholomew pray for us and strengthen our faith in the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ. 00:00 Introduction 00:21 Saint Bartholomew Among the Twelve Apostles 00:31 Mission Assigned After Pentecost 00:47 Saint Philip and Saint Mariamne 00:54 Preaching in Syria and Asia Minor 01:10 Destruction of the Pagan Viper Idol 01:25 Healing of the Blind Man Stachys 01:49 Arrest and Trial Before the Prefect 02:21 Martyrdom of Saint Philip 02:47 Saint Bartholomew Continues His Mission 03:03 Saint Bartholomew in India 03:13 Evangelization of Greater Armenia 03:23 Healing the King's Daughter 03:45 Conversion of Thousands to Christ 03:51 Arrest by King Astyages 04:01 Crucifixion and Final Preaching 04:11 Flayed Alive and Beheaded 04:16 Burial of the Holy Relics 04:22 Translation of the Relics Through History 05:09 Saint Joseph the Hymnographer and the Relics 05:43 Vision of Saint Bartholomew 06:21 Was Bartholomew the Same as Nathanael? 06:29 Conclusion https://www.oca.org/saints/lives 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
