James was called along with this brother John, whom Jesus nicknamed "The Sons of Thunder."
James was martyred early on by Herod and tradition says that his body was taken to Compostela Spain, which remains a site
of pilgrimage. The
trail signs all along
the Camino use his symbol, the scollop shell - (here styized) the brothers were fihsermen, mending the nets in
their father Zebedee's boat when when Jesus called them and they up and left Zebedee in
the boat with the hired men, a lovely little detail.
Tangentially,
but hard to
make out here,
our diocesan
seal has the
scallop shell
at the bottom
since our first
bishop, Bob
Wolterstorff
came from St James, La Jolla.
