The Significance of Saint Mark the Apostle

The holy, glorious and all-laudable Apostle and Evangelist Mark is the author of the Gospel of Mark, the companion of the Apostle Paul (as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles), and is numbered among the Seventy Apostles. He is often referred to as John Mark, and is the founder of the Church of Alexandria, being regarded as its first pope. As a result, he is also venerated by the Coptic Orthodox Church as its founder as well. His symbol as one of the four evangelists is a lion. The Church celebrates his feast days on April 25; September 27 with Aristarchus and Zenas; October 30 with Tertius, Justus, Artemas, and Cleopas; and January 4 among the Seventy.
