St. Mark (First Century) Evangelist
April 25
St. Mark, author of the second Gospel, was a member of the early Christian Community at Jerusalem. St. Paul and St. Barnabas, his cousin, took him on their first missionary journey. When they reached Cyprus, however, Mark left them to return to Jerusalem, perhaps because he missed home. This caused Paul to question for awhile Mark's reliability as a missionary, and the incident brought about a large disagreement between himself and Barnabas. Later, Mark became Paul's trusted companion at Rome, during one of Paul's imprisonments. He was also an associate of Peter. One tradition relates that Mark became Bishop of Alexandria in Egypt. Around the ninth century, his relics were brought to Venice where they rest in the great Cathedral of San Marco. Mark is depicted in art as a winged lion, probably suggested by the description in his Gospel of John the Baptist as "a voice crying in the desert." It is believed that he wrote his Gospel between 60 and 70 A. D.
