Philip and James the Less are commemorated together on May 1 with martyrs' crowns. This date traditionally coincides with the dedication of the Church of the Holy Apostles in Rome, where their relics were believed to rest. Philip of Bethsaida appears in several vivid episodes in John's Gospel, bringing Nathanael to Christ, and questioning how anyone could feed of the five thousand. He also famously asked Jesus to "show us the Father," to which Jesus replies, "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father," clearly asserting his Divinity. In later tradition, Philip was a popular disciple to embellish, with multiple apocryphal acts. The most famous records him blinding & slaying a dragon and her brood with Holy water in one section, and in another negotiating with a dragon to help build a church! Traditionally he was martyred for healing and preaching the gospel in Hierapolis. James the son of Alphaeus (also called James the Less) is distinguished from James the Elder and from James the Just; little is recorded of his individual ministry beyond his inclusion among the Twelve. Apocryphally he was martyred in Jerusalem after preaching Jesus' divinity faithfully to a group of Jews, who drag him before Emperor Claudius and accused him of hindering obedience to Rome. Consequently, Claudius had James stoned to death.
