St. James the Greater was son of Zebedee and from Galilee.

Answer: St. Bartholomew

St. Bartholomew was probably a Hebrew, and his real name may have been Nathaniel.

4. This Apostle is known as "The Rock" of the Church and had denied Christ three times when Jesus was arrested.

The younger brother of St. Andrew, St. Peter was in fact married. Scripture shows Jesus healing St. Peter's mother-in-law.

5. This Apostle doubted that Christ had appeared to the Apostles hidden in the upper room after the death of Christ, but soon believed after touching the wounds of Jesus days later.

Answer: St. Thomas

He was probably martyred in India.

6. This Apostle shares the name of another one of the Twelve, but distinguished by a title behind his name. His mother was named Mary.

Answer: St. James the Less

He is supposedly called "the Less" because of his shorter stature to St. James the Greater!

7. This Apostle supposedly wrote one of the Gospels and the Book of Revelation.

Answer: St. John

St. John was the brother of St. James the Greater.

8. St. Paul was one of the original Twelve Apostles.

Answer: False

St. Paul was not one of the Twelve, but he was important in spreading the Faith.

9. This Apostle was also known as Thaddeus.

Answer: St. Jude

Traditionally, the two names Jude and Thaddeus have been held to refer to the same apostle, possibly referred to by Mark and Matthew using the nickname Thaddeus to avoid association with Judas Iscariot.

Biblical scholars are divided as to whether this Jude is Jude the brother of James or Jude the son of James (Luke 6:16). Those who translate that passage as brother of James usually identify Jude the Apostle, therefore, as Jude the brother of Jesus. This debate also means that there is disagreement about who wrote the Book of Jude.

Answer: St. Philip

St. Philip's Feast Day in the Roman Church is May 3rd. The Eastern Orthodox Church celebrates it on November 14th.
