Saint Mark the Evangelist.

Double of The Second-Class.

Red Vestments.

Saint Mark, the Disciple of Saint Peter, is one of the Four Evangelists (Collect) who wrote, under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, an abridgement of the Life of Jesus. His narration begins by the mission of Saint John the Baptist, whose “voice was heard in the desert”; he is represented with a Lion lying at his feet, because the Lion, one of the four symbolical animals in the vision of Ezechiel (Epistle), makes the desert re-echo with its roaring.

He was one of the seventy-two Disciples (Gospel). He went to Egypt, where he was the first to announce Christ at Alexandria. The Preaching of the Gospel, which his Martyrdom confirmed, made him to enter into Glory (Secret), where Saint John shows him to us as one of the four symbolical animals who attend the Triumph of the Immolated Lamb.
