Saint James the Apostle, also known as James the Greater, was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. He is often identified as the son of Zebedee and the brother of John the Apostle. James is known for his strong faith and was present at several key events in the New Testament, including the Transfiguration of Jesus. Traditionally, Saint James is believed to have traveled to Spain to spread Christianity, and he is the patron saint of that country. His feast day is celebrated on July 25, and he is often depicted in art holding a pilgrim's staff and wearing a wide-brimmed hat, symbolizing his role as a traveler and missionary.
