SAINT MATTHEW THE APOSTLE AND EVANGELIST

Saint Matthew, son of Alphaeus, was a tax collector (publican) before becoming an apostle. As soon as he heard the voice of the Lord Jesus Christ saying, "Follow Me," Matthew left his service and became an inseparable companion of the Savior. He was the first to write a Gospel, originally in Hebrew, witnessing to Christ’s life, miracles, and resurrection.

The feast day of Saint Matthew is celebrated on November 29th. He is considered the patron saint of tax collectors, customs officers, bankers, and accountants. His image on the icon symbolizes the power of the soul's transformation and faithfulness to the Word of God, reminding us of the importance of serving the truth.

The icon of Saint Matthew the Apostle should be placed on the eastern wall of your home to beautify your space and add solemnity to your celebrations. It is a distinguished gift—a sign of spiritual protection and blessing for loved ones.
