St. Phillipus

Der Apostel:
Philippus (* in Bethsaida, Galiläa; † vermutlich um 81 in Skythien in der heutigen Ukraine) gehört zu den zwölf Aposteln Jesu (Matthäus 10,3). Er ist von dem in der Apostelgeschichte (Apg 6,5) erwähnten Diakon und späteren Evangelisten Philippus zu unterscheiden, auch wenn in der Legendenbildung die beiden Philippus-Biografien irrtümlich miteinander verbunden wurden.(Soure/Quelle: Heiligenlexikon)

The person:
Philip (* in Bethsaida, Galilee; † presumably about 81 in Scythia in today's Ukraine) belongs to the Twelve Apostles of Jesus (Matthew 10: 3). It is to be distinguished from the deacon and later evangelist Philip, mentioned in the book of the Apostles (Acts 6: 5), even though the two philosopher biographies were mistakenly connected in the legendary formation.
