Saint Bartholomew was one of the twelve great apostles of Christ. After receiving the Holy Spirit in the form of tongues of fire, Saint Bartholomew was assigned to go with the holy apostle Philip to preach the Gospel in Syria and Asia Minor. They both went there; sometimes preaching together, sometimes going apart to the cities, sometimes meeting again, they used the net of teaching to catch people in the sea of ​​the world for salvation.
