History
John was one of the Twelve
Apostles, and one of Jesus’ closest friends. Only John, his brother James and
Peter witnessed certain important events in Jesus’ life on earth. John was
also the only one who stood by Jesus all
the way through His death on the Cross instead of running away in fear. As He
was dying for our sins, Jesus asked John to take care of Mary, which he did.
John started many churches, and he wrote a Gospel about Jesus, three letters
(Epistles) and the book of Revelation, which are all part of the Bible.
Activity
Saint John the Apostle is often
represented as an eagle in church art. Today, make some eagle-shaped treats to
celebrate one of Jesus’ best friends.
