DESCRIPTION:According to tradition\, Luke was a physician\, and one of Paul
 ’s fellow missionaries in the early spread of Christianity throughout th
 e Roman world. He has been identified as the writer of both the Gospel tha
 t bears his name\, and its sequel\, the Acts of the Apostles.\nLuke seems 
 to have either been a Gentile or a Hellenistic Jew and\, like the other Ne
 w Testament writers\, he wrote in Greek\, so that Gentiles might learn abo
 ut the Lord whose life and deeds so impressed him. In the first chapter of
  his Gospel\, he makes clear that he is offering authentic information abo
 ut Jesus’ birth\, ministry\, death\, and resurrection\, as it had been h
 anded down to him from those who had\nfirsthand knowledge.\nOnly Luke prov
 ides the very familiar stories of the annunciation to Mary\, of her visit 
 to Elizabeth\, of the child in the manger\, the angelic host appearing to 
 shepherds\, and the meeting with the aged Simeon. Luke also includes in hi
 s work six miracles and eighteen parables not recorded in the other Gospel
 s. In Acts he tells about the coming of the Holy Spirit\, the struggles of
  the apostles and their triumphs over persecution\, of their preaching of 
 the Good News\, and of the conversion and baptism of other disciples\, who
  would extend the church in future years.\nLuke was with Paul apparently u
 ntil the latter’s martyrdom in Rome. What happened to Luke after Paul’
 s death is unknown\, but early tradition has it that he wrote his Gospel i
 n Greece\, and that he died at the age of eighty-four in Boeotia. Gregory 
 of Nazianzus says that Luke was martyred\, but this testimony is not corro
 borated by other sources. In the fourth century\, the Emperor Constantius 
 ordered the relics of Luke to be removed from Boeotia to Constantinople\, 
 where they could be venerated by pilgrims.\nAccording to Orthodox Christia
 n tradition\, Luke was also the first iconographer. He is traditionally re
 garded as the patron saint of artists and physicians.
