From a despised publican he became an apostle and witness of the Gospel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe is the author of the first of the four Gospels, written for the Hebrew people, in which he shows that Jesus is the promised Messiah foretold by the prophets. After Pentecost he preached the Gospel in distant lands and received the crown of martyrdom. In iconography he is shown as an Evangelist writing his Gospel, with his symbol the winged man. He is celebrated on 16 November. As a devotional icon, Saint Matthew is a sign of conversion and the call of Christ — a treasured presence in any prayer corner and a meaningful gift for those who bear his name.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TheHolyArt","offers":[{"title":"4.6x6.1cm (1.81x2.40in.)","offer_id":54195048579413,"sku":"tsiouchas-matthew-0461","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6.2x8.5cm (2.44x3.35in.)","offer_id":54195048612181,"sku":"tsiouchas-matthew-0285","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10x15cm (3.94x5.91in.)","offer_id":54195048644949,"sku":"tsiouchas-matthew-1015","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14x20cm (5.51x7.87in.)","offer_id":54195048677717,"sku":"tsiouchas-matthew-1420","price":112.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20x28cm (7.87x11.02in.)","offer_id":54195048710485,"sku":"tsiouchas-matthew-2028","price":158.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"27x40cm (10.63x15.75in.)","offer_id":54195048743253,"sku":"tsiouchas-matthew-2740","price":316.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"41x58cm (16.14x22.83in.)","offer_id":54195048776021,"sku":"tsiouchas-matthew-4158","price":569.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/8115\/4983\/files\/54.jpg?v=1782045178","url":"https:\/\/theholyart.org\/products\/saint-matthew-the-evangelist-orthodox-icon-serigraphy-canvas-with-gold-leaf-handmade-greek-byzantine-wall-art","provider":"TheHolyArt","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
