ONE OF THE TWELVE - MATTHEW THE APOSTLE

 

One of the twelve

Matthew the Apostle

Born in Galilee

Was a former publican

Turned tax collector

From Capernaum

Before answering the call

Witness of the ascension

Witness of the resurrection

One of the four Evangelists.

Who then spread the Gospels

Far and wide

Was killed with a spear

In the city of Nadabah

In Ethiopia

 

Feast Day 21st September
