Morning Prayer and Holy Rosary for the feast of SS Philip and James

for 45 mins
St Michael & All Angels
Northcote Road/Palmerston Road WALTHAMSTOW, LONDON., E17 6PQ, United Kingdom

Come and join us this morning either in person or on the livestream at 10.00 a.m. for Morning Prayer and Holy Rosary, celebrating the feast of Ss Philip and James. Philip was born in Bethsaida, and became an early disciple of Jesus after following John the Baptist; he also persuaded Nathanael to follow Jesus too. In the gospel of John, he is the apostle approached by the Greeks who want to meet Jesus. It is likely that he preached the Gospel in Phrygia (now part of Turkey) and died at Hierapolis (centre of the Phrygian cult centre of the mother goddess Cybele and later a Greek city) where he was buried. James (son of Alphaeus, called the Less to distinguish him from James son of Zebedee) is identified with the James whose mother stood by Christ on the Cross, and also with the 'brother of the Lord' who saw the risen Christ and is called the first bishop of Jerusalem. The relics of both saints were translated to Rome and buried together on 1 May AD 560.
