I must have missed this bit...could you please give me the biblical reference. I don't believe that it was recorded in the Bible. The story of his martyrdom can be found in Eusebius of Caesarea's work, Church History (AD 325), Book II, Chapter 23: The Martyrdom of James, who was called the Brother of the Lord warm regards -bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So some Byzantine Christians who were searching the holy land for biblical sites asked some locals to point out sacred sites. They then go carve the names on this tomb... That's some historical facts!! -SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
