One of the four Gospel writers, Mark may have been one of Christs seventy disciples. Some say he was the man who carried water to the house of the Last Supper, and perhaps the young man who fled after Christs arrest. He was close friends with St. Peter, who likely gave Mark details for his gospel. Marks symbol is a lion, because he describes John the Baptist as a voice crying out in the wilderness.Feast Day: April 25Patronage: Insect Bites, Lawyers, Notaries, Painters, Pharmacists, Prisoners
