  Notes	Saint Simon the Apostle, also known as Simon the Zealot, was one of the Twelve Apostles. His life is intertwined with early Christian history, and while details are scarce, here’s what we know: Epithet and Identity: In the Gospels of Mark and Matthew, he is referred to as Kananaios or the Cananaean. This epithet is often misunderstood to mean “from Cana” or “from Canaan.” However, it is actually a Greek transliteration of an Aramaic word, qanʾ anaya, which means “the Zealot.” It remains uncertain whether he was part of the Zealots, a Jewish nationalistic party before AD 70. The titles may have been used to distinguish him from the apostle St. Simon Peter. Ministry and Martyrdom: The New Testament provides little information about Simon. He is not mentioned extensively. According to the apocryphal Acts of Simon and Judas, he preached the Gospel in Egypt and later joined the apostle St. Judas (Thaddaeus) in Persia. Tradition holds that he was martyred by being cut in half with a saw, which became one of his chief iconographic symbols. Legacy: Simon’s feast day is celebrated on October 28 in the Western tradition and June 19 in the Eastern tradition. His life exemplifies dedication to spreading the Christian message, even in the face of persecution.
