Sts. John and James

"December 27th, John and James, the Apostles, at Jerusalem" Although St. John the Holy Apostle is mentioned in this martyrology, according to the traditions of the Holy Church, he was not a martyr. His inclusion in this manuscript is probably because "it was suitable to associate him with his brother James, and his eminence among the Twelve and as an Evangelist justified it, and his sufferings for Christ's sake and faithful witness throughout a long life could also be called to mind".
