Saint James Major

The privilege of witnessing the divine glory of the Transfiguration sets this disciple apart in the annals of the early Church, marking him as one of the few chosen to see the Master’s radiance unveiled. As an Apostle, his life was inextricably bound to the foundational moments of the Christian faith, placing him at the heart of the inner circle that accompanied Jesus during his most pivotal hours. This unique position granted him a profound intimacy with the divine nature of Christ, a spiritual inheritance that defined his identity long before his death.
