The New Testament starts with four books, called “Gospels’ written by holy men named Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.  In these books they told the whole world the Good News of Jesus Christ. 

 Saint Luke wrote the third Gospel.  He was a doctor and an artist.  He spoke many languages.  He was a good friend of Saint Paul and they traveled together in Greece.  He wrote the Gospel of Saint Luke and also the Book of Acts.  He painted three of the first icons ever.  Saint Luke lived until he was 80 years old.  We honor Saint Luke each year on October 18th.
