One of the Twelve Apostles, mentioned sixth in the three Gospel lists (Matthew 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:14), and seventh in the list of Acts (1:13).

The name (Bartholomaios) means "son of Talmai" (or Tholmai) which was an ancient Hebrew name, borne, e.g. by the King of Gessur whose daughter was a wife of David (2 Samuel 3:3).

St. Bartholomew of the Martyrs

Saint Bartholomew of the Martyrs was born in Lisbon in 1514, and at the age of 14 he entered the Dominican Order in that city. He was ordained bishop in 1559 and on that same year received the pallium of Archbishop of Braga. He participated in the third and last stage of the Council of Trent (1562-1563). He died on July 16, 1590, recognized and acclaimed by the people as the “holy archbishop, father of the poor and the sick”. He was canonized by Pope Francis in 2019. His feast day is celebrated on July 18.

Sandal

The archbishop who toured the region of the archdiocese of Braga in the sixteenth century, did so by mule or on foot, so the sandal is a symbol of dedication to his people and a relic of veneration.

with great apostolic charity, 
always protect your Church so that,
