St Bartholomew HistorySaint Bartholomew is a Christian religious observance that commemorates the life and martyrdom of one of Jesus Christ's twelve apostles, Saint Bartholomew (also called Nathanael). He is known for bringing the Gospel to Asia and, according to tradition, met his death by refusing to give up the religion after converting many souls to Christianity. His feast day is an opportunity for the faithful to express devotion to Saint Bartholomew and seek his grace in prayers and intentions. The observance also includes performances of liturgical acts, such as Mass and special prayers, in honour of the saint. This feast day has been observed in Christian churches since the 9th century. While not exclusive to Australia, Saint Bartholomew's courage and faith have significance for Christians in the country. Though martyrdom is not as prevalent today, the Christians can look to Saint Bartholomew's example as they confront challenges from maintaining and propagating their faith amidst a predominantly secular society. Additionally, the saint's life may remind local Christians of the importance of missionary and evangelistic outreach to others in the region. In Australia, the Observance of Saint Bartholomew is typically marked by attending Mass or a church service and by prayerful reflection on the saint's life, virtues, and contributions to the Church. Some communities and parishes with a particular devotion to Saint Bartholomew may have further celebrations and events. Saint Bartholomew facts
