Bartholomew was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, and is usually identified with Nathanael, mentioned only in the Gospel of John. Bartholomew (Greek: Βαρθολομαίος, transliterated "Bartholomaios") comes from the Aramaic bar-Tôlmay (תולמי-בר), meaning son of Tolmay (Ptolemy) or son of the furrows (perhaps a ploughman). Based on this meaning, many have assumed it was not a given name, but a family name. The festival of St Bartholomew is celebrated on August 24 in the western Church and on June 11 in the Eastern churches. The Armenian Apostolic Church honours Saint Bartholomew, along with Jude the Apostle (a.k.a. Thaddeus), as its patron saint. The Coptic Church remembers him on January 1. The festival in August has been a traditional occasion for markets and fairs, such as the Bartholomew Fair held in Smithfield, London since the Middle Ages that served as the scene for Ben Jonson's homonymous comedy (1614).

From Google News Search: "Bartholomew the Apostle" Paul the false apostle proved by scripture, dare to rebutt? Q. Rev 21:14 Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. Act 1:13 And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot; and Judas the son of James. Act 1:25 "to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place." Act 1:26 And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Answered by ticd - Sat Jan 26 12:14:28 2008 Why did the early believers suffer persecution for a lie? Q. The twelve apostles: 1. Andrew - crucified 2. Bartholomew - beaten then crucified 3. James, son of Alphaeus - stoned to death 4. James, son of Zebedee - beheaded 5. John - exiled for his faith; died of old age 6. Judas (not Iscariot) - stoned to death 7. Matthew - speared to death 8. Peter - crucifed upside down 9. Philip - crucified 10. Simon - crucified 11. Thomas - speared to death 12. Matthias - stoned to death Not to mention thousands of others who were thrown to the lions in Rome. Why did these people die fore something they knew wasn't true? I'm talking about the founder of the relgion who wrote the bible, of course people later died like in every other religion, but I'm talking about the people who started it all. Asked by BigDave - Fri Jul 4 19:51:01 2008 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments A. Paul also was beheaded, and John was boiled in oil, but survived. I don't think you will get an honest answer from any non-believer. This is just too real for them. Foxes Book of Martyrs is a good read for anyone who doubts the faith of Christians, and the strength that it brings. All those that knew Christ died willingly for him, except John, who was saved to write Revelation. This is the essential truth behind Christianity, that it is the truth enough to die for.
