Saint James the Greater, the Apostle († 44 AD) was a Galilean fisherman, son of Zebedee and brother of John. Called by Christ alongside John, he was among the inner circle witnessing key events like the Transfiguration and Jesus’ agony in Gethsemane. Known for his fiery zeal, he earned the title “Son of Thunder.” Tradition holds he preached in Spain before his martyrdom in Jerusalem around 44 AD, beheaded by Herod Agrippa, making him the first apostle martyred. His relics are venerated in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, a major pilgrimage site. Canonized by the early Church, his feast day is July 25.
