The Holy holy, glorious and all-laudable '''Apostle Bartholomew''' was one of the [[Apostles|Twelve Great Apostles]]. After the [[Ascension|Ascension of Christ]], he preached in Asia with the [[Apostle Philip]] (and his sister Mariamma) and [[Apostle John|St. John the Theologian]]. He later preached in India and then Armenia where he was [[martyr]]ed. Prior to India, he was crucified upside down in Hierapolis with [[Apostle Philip]] for causing the death of a great serpent the people worshipped and healing people through prayer. He was removed from the cross during a great earthquake because the people thought God was judging them; St. Philip had already reposed.
