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
little farther, he threw himself on the ground and prayed that if it
were possible, the hour might pass from
him. (Mark 14: 32 & 35)
Cross:
The Pattee Fitched Cross: Resembles the Maltese Cross
