On Friday, October 18, the parishioners of the Orthodox and Greek Catholic churches remember the Apostle of the Seventy, Luke. Previously, before the change of the calendar to the New Julian style, the saint was honored on October 31.
Luke was an associate of the Apostle Paul and wrote one of the four Gospels, as well as the book of the Acts of the Holy Apostles. He was one of the seventy disciples of Jesus Christ whom the Lord sent with the first sermon about the Kingdom of Heaven during His earthly life.
The saint is also considered the first icon painter in history. It is believed that it was Luka who created the first icon of the Holy Mother of God. There are testimonies that confirm that the apostle had knowledge in the field of medicine. He was martyred by pagans in the city of Thebes.
