St. Mark, Evangelist

April 25th is the Feast of St. Mark, also known as John Mark. He is a cousin of Barnabas and is related to the woman whose house in Jerusalem was the first Church of Christendom.

Mark’s Gospel is set off by his very earthy telling of the story of Jesus. It is short, action-packed and tactile. The link above tells of Mark’s martyrdom.
