Brother of God
Yesterday was my patronal feastday, for St. James the Brother of God and first bishop of Jerusalem. If you take a look at the icon above of the flight to Egpyt, you will see an affirmation of the tradition that St. James was the son of Joseph from his previous wife who had passed away. Leading the way "with provisions" (as one description offers) is St. James.
He is also credited with writing the epistle that bears his name and which so vexed Martin Luther.
Pray for us, Holy Father James, brother of God
