Discover the powerful story of Saint James the Just, also known as James the Brother of the Lord, whose faith, wisdom, and martyrdom shaped the early Church.
In this video, we explore his holy life — from his Nazirite vow to his role as the first Bishop of Jerusalem, his leadership at the Council of Jerusalem, and his enduring witness to Jesus Christ as the Messiah.

Learn about:

His deep devotion and ascetic life as a Nazirite consecrated to God.

His bold proclamation of faith before the Pharisees and scribes.

His martyrdom atop the Temple in Jerusalem around 63 A.D.

His authorship of the Epistle of James, one of the most practical and timeless books in the New Testament.

The Divine Liturgy of St. James, which influenced the Liturgies of St. Basil the Great and St. John Chrysostom.

Join us in honoring this great Apostle, whose feast is celebrated on October 23rd, and again on the Sunday after the Nativity of Christ, together with St. Joseph the Betrothed and King David.

🙏 “Be doers of the word, and not hearers only.” — James 1:22
