tombs of the Apostles: Saint Bartholomew by ric Gustafson
Along the Tiber River, you get a good view of the city of Rome. In the middle of the River, is an unassuming Island. The Island is diamonded shaped and rounded. Tiber Island was designed to look like a Roman warship. Two bridges connect the Island to Rome. The bridges date back to the first century. One of the Apostle's resting place is on Tiber Island.
The Apostle Bartholomew is only mentioned four times in the New Testament. It is believed that Bartholomew came from a noble family. Nathanael and Bartholomew are mentioned together. It is possible that the two are the same person. Nathanael is mentioned twice in God's Word. The church at San Bartolomeo All Isola. The church piazza is popular with people enjoying coffee. On the Island is a statue of the Apostle. A myth had started that the Apostle had traveled to India to evangelize. It was written that Bartholomew was at the center of the sacred number twelve.
