James, the brother of the Lord, the first bishop of Jerusalem
The Church commemorates him on October 23. He is not the Apostle James, son of Alphaeus, one of the Twelve. The Gospel mentions him as one of the four brothers of the Lord Jesus, the other three being Joses, Simon, and Judas (Matthew 13:55 and Mark 6:3) who did not believe in him at first (John 7:5).
