James

 

 James. Like Peter and Andrew, James and John were brothers. The four of them were probably partners in the business of fishing. Together they formed an inner circle of disciples closest to Jesus. Following the death and resurrection of Jesus, James shared the leadership of the church in Jerusalem with Peter. He was the first of the disciples to suffer martyrdom; beheaded by Herod Agrippa I. The three escallop shells are symbols of his pilgrimage and missionary journeys
