St James the Great 25th July
James the Great, Apostle and martyr, died 44AD, being executed under Herod Agrippa (Acts 12:2). He was brother of John, one of the sons of Zebedee. He was the first Apostle to die for the Christian faith. Various legends claim that either he preached or was buried in Spain (though neither command much credence, at least outside Spain! Santiago de Compostela, where his shrine is, was supported by kings, popes and bishops and James was pictured as the defender of Christianity against the Moors. The pilgrimage here was one of the most important in medieval Europe and abbeys sprang up along the pilgrimage roads to provide hospitality for pilgrims. Reading Abbey was given a hand-relic of James by the Empress Matilda. The earliest documentary evidence for the translation of James' relics from Jerusalem to Spain is in the Martyrology of Usuard (865CE). Compostela and its pilgrimage was so important that it transformed the iconography of James, his emblems becoming the pilgrim's hat and the scallop shell associated with Compostela. Over 400 churches in England are dedicated to him.
