CS:
Svatý Bartolomej,
apoštol, mucedník: narodil se na pocátku 1. století, jeho domovem byla Kána v Galileji. Puvodní jméno apoštola bylo Natanael. Bartolomej se pravdepodobne odvozoval z hebrejských slov “bar tolmai”, syn oráce brázdy, což poukazuje na povolání jeho otce.
Tradice vypráví, že Bartolomej se dostal k Ježíšovi pres apoštola Filipa. Kristus mu rekl: “Hle, pravý Izraelita, v nemž není lsti.”
Po seslání Ducha svatého, když se apoštolové rozešli hlásat evangelium, kázal Bartolomej v Arménii, Indii a Mezopotámii. Známý se stal svou schopností uzdravovat nemocné a predevším posedlé. V polovine 1. století byl odsouzen k smrti: z živého tela mu stahovali kuži a pak ho ukrižovali. Ostatky byly pozdeji preneseny do Ríma.
Svatý Bartolomej je patronem horníku, kniharu, vinaru, pastevcu, rezníku, krejcích…
