St Bartholomew’s Day (Tenth Sunday after Trinity)
One of the twelve apostles of Jesus, Bartholomew is identified with Nathaniel in other versions of the list of names. An ancient unsubstantiated tradition that Bartholomew was a nobleman accounts for the selection of the gospel reading associated with this feast from early days. The earliest English hospitals in Rochester and London are dedicated to Bartholomew.
Lesson ~ Isaiah 43.8-13
Gospel ~St Luke 22.24-30
