   Disciple:             St. Philip: (Apostle, Martyr ) It was to St. Philip that Christ addressed his remark concerning the feeding
                               of  the  multitude (thus the two loaves of bread). (St. John 6, 7) The budding cross refers to Philip's successful
                               missionary journeys among the barbarians where he spread the knowledge of Christianity.

   Biblical Scene:      They went to a place called Gethsemane and he said to his disciples, "Sit here while I pray..." And going a

                               him. (Mark 14: 32 & 35)
