St Bartholomew HistoryThe Observance of Saint Bartholomew is a celebration in honour of one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, Bartholomew the Apostle. Also known as Nathanael, he is recognized for his unwavering faith and dedication to spreading the teachings of Christ. This occasion aims to remind Christians of the importance of steadfast faith, and the selfless service of the apostles who played a vital role in the foundation of the Christian Church. Saint Bartholomew, along with the other apostles, serves as an essential figure in understanding Christianity's roots. Although there is limited historical documentation about his life and ministry, it is believed that he travelled to various regions, including India and Armenia, to preach the Gospel. Saint Bartholomew's teachings could be compared to the early missionary work of individuals like British missionary Samuel Marsden, who worked tirelessly to spread Christianity throughout the country. New Zealand although a country with diverse cultural and religious backgrounds, still has strong Christian community, and the Saint Bartholomew's message of faith and dedication resonates with Christians in New Zealand. It reminds them of the legacy passed down through generations. In New Zealand, the Observance of Saint Bartholomew is commemorated primarily by the Anglican Church and Catholic Church on August 24th, in line with the liturgical calendar. While there may not be grandiose public celebrations that take place, various churches may hold special services or include prayers, hymns, and reflections centred around Saint Bartholomew. Christians in New Zealand take this time to acknowledge the life and work of this apostle and to seek inspiration from his unwavering faith and commitment to Christ's teachings.
