About our Catholic Faith
St. Mark | Feast Day: April 25
Most of what we know about Mark comes directly from the New Testament. He is usually identified with
the Mark of Acts 12:12. (When Peter escaped from prison, he went to the home of Mark's mother.) Paul
and Barnabas took him along on the first missionary journey, but for some reason Mark returned alone
to Jerusalem. It is evident, from Paul's refusal to let Mark accompany him on the second journey despite
Barnabas's insistence, that Mark had displeased Paul. Because Paul later asks Mark to visit him in prison,
we may assume the trouble did not last long. The oldest and the shortest of the four Gospels, the Gospel
of Mark emphasizes Jesus' rejection by humanity while being God's triumphant envoy. Probably written
for Gentile converts in Rome—after the death of Peter and Paul sometime between A.D. 60 and 70—
Mark's Gospel is the gradual manifestation of a "scandal": a crucified Messiah. Evidently a friend of
Mark (Peter called him "my son"), Peter is only one of the Gospel sources, others being the Church in
Jerusalem (Jewish roots) and the Church at Antioch (largely Gentile). Like one other Gospel writer,
Luke, Mark was not one of the 12 apostles. We cannot be certain whether he knew Jesus personally. Some scholars feel that the
evangelist is speaking of himself when describing the arrest of Jesus in Gethsemane: "Now a young man followed him wearing
nothing but a linen cloth about his body. They seized him, but he left the cloth behind and ran off naked" (Mark 14:51-52).
Others hold Mark to be the first bishop of Alexandria, Egypt. Venice, famous for the Piazza San Marco, claims Mark as its patron
saint; the large basilica there is believed to contain his remains. A winged lion is Mark's symbol. The lion derives from Mark's
description of John the Baptist as a "voice of one crying out in the desert" (Mark 1:3), which artists compared to a roaring lion.
The wings come from the application of Ezekiel's vision of four winged creatures (Ezekiel, chapter one) to the evangelists.
