St Luke The Evangelist6711212

St. Luke was the creator of the Gospel of St. Luke and The Functions of The Apostles. His identification as creator of these books of the Bible has been verified by the early Church Fathers, St. Jerome, and Eusebius. He was a disciple and companion of the apostle St. Paul and accompanied him until St. Paul's martyrdom. He has been determined in St. Paul's Letter to the Colossians (Col 4:fourteen) as "Luke, the beloved physician". St. Luke was not a Jew. He was a gentile. And, consequently was ready to publish and converse with the gentiles based on their tradition and customs. He lived in the Greek city of Antioch which is ancient Syria.

He was a very effectively educated male and a doctor by trade. He was also a extremely gifted artist and painter. St. Luke is explained to be the very first painter of Christian icons. Among the icons painted by St Luke are photos of The Blessed Mother Mary - Our Lady of Czestochowa and Our Girl of Vladimir, St. Peter, St. Paul, and other icons of Jesus and Mary.
