	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. James the Greater
		The Galilean origin of St. James in some degree explains the energy of temper and the vehemence of character which earned for him and St. John the name of Boanerges, "sons of thunder" (Mark 3:17); the Galilean race was religious, hardy, industrious, brave, and the strongest defender of the Jewish nation.
		Several incidents scattered through the Synoptics suggest that James and John had that particular character indicated by the name "Boanerges," sons of thunder, given to them by the Lord (Mark 3:17); they were burning and impetuous in their evangelical zeal and severe in temper.
		James won the crown of martyrdom fourteen years after this prophecy, A.D. Herod Agrippa I, son of Aristobulus and grandson of Herod the Great, reigned at that time as "king" over a wider dominion than that of his grandfather.

	Medieval Art: Text-Saints: Saint James the Greater
		JAMES the Great, or the Elder, or St. James Major, was nearly related to Christ, and, with his brother John (the evangelist) and Peter, he seems to have been admitted to particular favor, traveled with the Lord, and was present at most of the events recorded in the Gospels.
		Then St. James gave him his staff, as the most effectual means of defense against the internal spirits; and C, Hermogenes became a faithful disciple and preacher of the Word from that day.
		But from the thirteenth century, it became a fashion to characterize St. James as a pilgrim of Compostella: he bears the peculiar long staff, to which the wallet or gourd of water is suspended; the cloak, with a long cape the scallop shell on his shoulder or on his flapped hat.
