Saint Matthew

The first apostle of Jesus Christ

Saint Matthew, also known as Levi, was one of Jesus' twelve apostles. He is believed to have written the Gospel of Matthew, one of the four canonical Gospels in Christianity. Matthew was a tax collector before being called by Jesus. He is considered one of the most important figures in the early Christian church, and his feast day is celebrated on September 21. He is also the patron saint of money and tax collectors.
