James the Greater was the son of Zebedee and Salome. The title ‘The Greater’ was added to St. James name to help others distinguish from the other apostle James. He was one of the first disciple of Jesus. He met Jesus for the first time when he was fishing with his father. You remember the story of Peter’s huge catch at the sea?

James was also present there, and he witnessed that miracle as well. After the death of Jesus, he spread Gospel across Israel and different parts of the world. Follow the adventures of this great Saint today!
