San Giacomo Magno - Apostolo e Martire - Dipinto di Dino Carbetta
“Saint James the Great - Apostle and Martyr - Painting by Dino Carbetta” …
James was born to Zebedee and Salome, the latter being the sister of Mary, the mother of Jesus. This familial connection makes James a significant figure, as he was revealed to be a cousin to the Son of God. His brother, John the Apostle, was also among the Twelve, creating a sacred bond within the apostolic circle. James was one of the earliest disciples and answered the call to follow Jesus by the seashore. Alongside John and Peter, they formed a triumvirate, privileged to witness pivotal moments in Christ's ministry. They saw the raising of Jairus' daughter, the transfiguration, and the poignant agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. James's fiery spirit sometimes led him astray, and he and his brother once sought positions of honor, prompting a gentle rebuke from Jesus. James and his brother once considered calling down fire on a Samaritan town, revealing his passion for his faith. But Jesus, embodying mercy, redirected their fervor, teaching a lesson in compassion over judgment. Despite this episode, James remained faithful to the end. He was martyred by the sword under the rule of "Herod," becoming the first apostle to embrace martyrdom. In the sacred traditions of the Catholic Church, Saint James assumes the role of the patron saint of Spain. Legend holds that his earthly remains are resting in Santiago de Compostela in Galicia. The very name Santiago echoes in Latin resonating with the essence of a sanctuary devoted to Saint James. The timeless pilgrimage known as the "Way of St. James" emerges as a poignant expression of devotion, drawing Catholics into a sacred journey that has spanned the epochs from the Early Middle Ages to the present. "The legacy of Saint James, as portrayed by Dino, is a universal symbol of resilience, devotion, and the pursuit of a higher calling. The canvas mirrors the aspirations of those seeking meaning and purpose in their lives."
