Feastday: November 27

James was a favorite of King Yezdigerd I of Persia and a Christian. He abandoned his religion when Yesdigerd launched a persecution of the Christians. When the king died, James repented of his apostasy and declared himself to be a Christian to the new king, Bahram. When James refused to apostasize, he was executed by having his body cut apart piece by piece, beginning with his fingers (hence his surname Intercisus - cut to pieces), and then beheaded. His feast day is November 27.

I honour our dear St. James Interciscus and ask that we all recall a young lady in USA who said"Yes"when asked if she were a Christian,and was consequentally shot to death. Read her book. Read Jesus Freaks too. Read modern day Martyrs. Pray for all .

I would like peace-adicted Japanese to read this information because the country gives a fix for the freedom of worship. They also enjoy no religion. They might profess capitalism or scientific technology. I have looked at Japanese catholic lay people. They enjoy Bibe interpretation procedure as sunset pleasures. It is a crying shame ,as I am a same Japanese ,that they does not understand autentic faith . St. James Intercisus, forgive Japanese.
They does not know anything!

Funny that the purported martyrdom of St Peter the Aleut at the hands of a purported "Jesuit Inquisitor" so closely resembles that of St James Intercisus at the hands of a Persian persecutor of Christians.

I think the What happened to St.James could happen to anyone.It's definitely not incredible! Sadly, we have more people ready to cut others than to get cut for the sake of Jesus!!
