Sažetak
Paper discusses the twelve disciples and apostles of Jesus based on the Gospels of St. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Acts of the Apostles and Jacobus de Varagine’s work Aurea legenda aut vitae sanctorum, as well as other relevant literature. Special attention is paid to the (re)construction of the life of the apostles St. Philip and St. James. Juraj Šižgorić and Marko Marulić wrote about the apostles in their poems, among whom they included St. Paul. St. Philip preached among the Scythians. He was crucified and stoned to death in Hierapolis. His two daughters testified to their faith in Jesus Christ by suffering a martyr’s death. St. James, son of Alphaeus, was also known as James the Less, James the Just, and the Brother of the Lord because he was remarkably similar to Jesus, so they were misrecognized. He was the first bishop of Jerusalem where he was tortured and murdered. Relics of the apostle St. James, son of Alphaeus, are in the Roman church of Dodici apostoli next to the apostle St. Philip. Therefore, Catholic Church celebrates them on the same day. The memorial of St. Philip and St. James, son of Alphaeus, was celebrated on May 1st up to 1955. That year pope Pius XII designated May 1st as a memorial of St. Joseph the Worker and the memorial of St. Philip and James was moved to May 3rd.
