English Original
St. James was one of the 12 Apostles of Jesus. He and his brother John were fishermen on the Sea of Galilee and were among the first disciples to be called. As a member of the inner circle of disciples, he witnessed major events in the ministry of Jesus, including the Transfiguration and the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. He was beheaded in AD 44 by order of Herod Agrippa. By tradition, his body was taken to Santiago de Compostela, Spain, where his shrine has long been a place of pilgrimage.

圣雅各是耶稣基督的十二使徒之一。他和他的兄弟约翰是加利利海的渔夫，是最早受耶稣感召的门徒。作为使徒核心圈的一员，他见证了耶稣传道期间的一些重大事迹，包括主显圣容和耶稣在客西马尼园中的忧伤祈祷。公元44年，犹太国王希律·亚基帕一世下令将他斩首。据传，他的遗体被运到了西班牙的圣地亚哥-德孔波斯特拉，该地的圣雅各祠长久以来一直是朝圣地。
