Feast of Saint Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist

Feast of Saint Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist, honors the life and contributions of Saint Matthew, who was both an apostle of Jesus and an evangelist. Unlike typical feasts, this Christian observance is marked by prayer and acts of service rather than literal feasting. Saint Matthew’s story, as a former tax collector who became a devoted follower of Christ, serves as a powerful testament to God’s ability to transform sinners into saints, as depicted in scripture.
