St John the Apostle Orthodox Icon Rock Slate Plaque Christian Religious Gift Decor

Saint John the Apostle — the Beloved Disciple, the Theologian, the Eagle of the Gospels — holds a place unlike any other among the twelve apostles. He was the youngest of the Twelve, the son of Zebedee and Salome, and together with his brother James and the Apostle Peter, he formed the inner circle of disciples closest to Jesus. It was John who reclined next to Jesus at the Last Supper, John who ran to the empty tomb on the morning of the Resurrection, and John who stood faithfully at the foot of the cross when nearly all the others had fled — the only apostle present at the Crucifixion. In that sacred moment, Jesus looked down from the cross and entrusted His mother Mary to John’s care: “Woman, here is your son” and “Here is your mother.” From that hour, John took her into his own home. John went on to write the most theologically profound of the four Gospels, three epistles, and the book of Revelation — received in a vision on the island of Patmos. He is the only one of the twelve apostles believed to have died peacefully of old age, having outlived all the others, and his final message to the Church was simply: “Little children, love one another.”

"God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them." — 1 John 4:16
