Luke the Evangelist authored both the gospel that bears his name and the Acts of the Apostles, contributing more words to the New Testament than any other writer. He was Greek-speaking physician of Antioch and traveled with Paul. He alone preserved the church's daily songs: the Magnificat, the Benedictus, the Nunc Dimittis, and the angelic Gloria, likely some of the church’s earliest unique liturgical material after the synagogues. His feast on October 18 is kept as a high feast in red as an apostolic companion, Gospel writer, and evangelist in his own right.
