Saint Macarius the Roman and Apostle James, the Brother of the Lord
Today we remember two important saints: Saint Macarius the Roman of Mesopotamia and the Holy Apostle James, the Brother of the Lord. Saint Macarius was a devoted ascetic who faced great struggles but found repentance and peace through prayer and fasting. We also honor Apostle James, who was the first Bishop of Jerusalem and a close relative of Christ. He played a key role in the early Church and was martyred for his faith. His teachings continue to guide us today.
