His feast day is April 25. He is the patron saint of notaries.
The Catholic church made him the patron saint of notaries and proclaimed a feast day for him?
This is definitely one of the things that separates the Protestants from the Catholics. Although I am glad of the choice of the new pope, there are some things the Catholic church adds over and above Scripture that make me pause.
Are you saying that you don't honor the four Evangelists who wrote the Gospels? That doesn't make sense to me, because of many Protestant held views regarding sola scriptura.
I'm not here to argue about the attributes of St. Mark. In reading his Gospel I know that his words are inspired -- hence he was chosen by God and blessed accordingly.
Good Grief! I find it stunning that a nation can honor its important citizens by recognizing their birthdays; but in our faith, it is wrong for a Christian to recognize those that helped to bring our faith to us. Is Mark missing in your Bible? I know he's in mine.
