Father Behr writes:

Dear Parishioners,

On Thursday we celebrate the feast of St James the Apostle. St James was the brother of St John and son of Zebedee. The brothers were described by our Lord as ‘Sons of Thunder’ due to their zeal.
St James was martyred under the orders of King Agrippa in 44AD. He was beheaded and his martyrdom is recorded in the twelfth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles.  He is particularly venerated in Spain at the famous shrine of Santiago de Compostela where the great thurible is used on his feast day.  Have you ever been on the Camino de Compostela?

Visit HERE to see the giant thurible being swung.  It really is quite amazing.

Fr Behr.
