DESCRIPTION:James\, the brother of John\, is often known as James the Great
 er\, to distinguish him from the other Apostle of the same name who is com
 memorated on May 1 with Philip\, and also from James “the brother of our
  Lord.” He was the son of a Galilean fisherman\, Zebedee\, and with his 
 brother John left his home and his trade in obedience to the call of Chris
 t. With Peter and John\, he seems to have belonged to an especially privil
 eged group\, whom Jesus chose to be witnesses to the Transfiguration\, to 
 the raising of Jairus’ daughter\, and to his agony in the Garden of Geth
 semane.\nApparently\, James shared John’s hot-headed disposition\, and J
 esus nicknamed the brothers “Boanerges” (Sons of Thunder). James’ ex
 pressed willingness to share the cup of Christ was realized in his being t
 he first of the Apostles to die for him. As the Acts of the Apostles recor
 ds\, “About that time Herod the King laid violent hands upon some who be
 longed to the Church. He killed James the brother of John with the sword
 ” (Acts 12:1-2).\nAccording to an old tradition\, the body of James was 
 taken to Compostela\, Spain\, which has been a shrine for pilgrims for cen
 turies.
