Feast of St Bartholomew
2022-08-24
He came from Cana in Galilee and followed Jesus. We know little of him, but he may have gone to Persia where he was martyred by being flayed – skinned alive. Did you know that in Michelangelo’s picture of Bartholomew from the Sistine Chapel, in the flayed skin is a picture of Michelangelo himself!
