Martyred in 258, along with the other six deacons of Rome, and Pope Sixtus II.
He was one of the most popular and powerful saints of the Middle Ages, which accounts for his many patronages. He is the patron of deacons, schoolboys, students, armorers, brewers, confectioners, cooks, cutlers, glaziers, and launderers.
Bartholomew was a close friend of St. Philip, who brought him to Jesus. Tradition has, that after the Ascension, Bartholomew went on a missionary trip to India, where he left behind a copy of the "Gospel of Matthew".
Along with his fellow apostle, Jude, Bartholomew is reputed to have brought christianity to Armenia in the first century. There is also a tradition that he was martyred in Baku, Azerbaijan, by being flayed alive and then crucified head down.
