Collection / Apostles
St James the Greater
The first apostle to be martyred; pilgrims still walk to his tomb at Santiago.
About this statue
James, the brother of John, was called with him from his father’s boat. He was beheaded by King Herod Agrippa, the first of the twelve to die for the faith (Acts 12). By tradition his body rests at Santiago de Compostela in Spain, and the old pilgrim road to it is named after him. His feast falls on 25 July.
He is shown as a pilgrim, leaning on his tall staff.
This is one of the twelve 11-foot apostles made for the facade of the Gunadala Matha Shrine, Vijayawada.
