St Luke The Evangelist6489348

St. Luke was the creator of the Gospel of St. Luke and The Acts of The Apostles. His identity as author of these guides of the Bible has been confirmed 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, for that reason was capable to create and talk with the gentiles primarily based on their tradition and customs. He lived in the Greek town of Antioch which is historic Syria.

He was a very well educated gentleman and a physician by trade. He was also a very proficient artist and painter. St. Luke is explained to be the first painter of Christian icons. Amid the icons painted by St Luke are photographs of The Blessed Mom Mary - Our Lady of Czestochowa and Our Girl of Vladimir, St. Peter, St. Paul, and other icons of Jesus and Mary.
