 General Description:

St. Matthew The Evangelist Ceramic Plaque

(Matheus, Mathias, Matteo) [1st Century], Apostle and Evangelist. Engaged in a business known for its sharp practices, St. Matthew abandoned all to follow Jesus. His example is a model for those who compromise their consciences in the name of "business as usual".  He is shown with an angel, his symbol, writing his gospel. He is patron of accountants, bankers, bookkeepers and tax collectors. His feast is September 21.

   

St. Matthew
Feast Day:
Roman Rite Calendar - 09/21


Patron Of: Accounts, Bankers, Bookkeepers, Stockbrokers, Tax Collectors

Profile
Son of Alphaeus, he lived at Capenaum on Lake Genesareth. He was a Roman tax collector, a position equated with collaboration with the enemy by those from whom he collected taxes. Jesus' contemporaries were surprised to see the Christ with a traitor, but Jesus explained that he had come "not to call the just, but sinners."

Matthew's Gospel is given pride of place in the canon of the New Testament, and was written to convince Jewish readers that their anticipated Messiah had come in the person of Jesus. He preached among the Jews for 15 years; his audiences may have included the Jewish enclave in Ethiopia, and places in the East.
