	The Deacon's Homily for the Feast of Saint Mark the Evangelist
		We say of Saint Mark that he was an “evangelist,” and an evangelist is a bearer of glad tidings, a herald of good news.
		We call Mark an evangelist because he was the author of one of the four Gospels, and Gospel (or in the classical languages, “Evangel”) means “good news.” Mark, the Gospel-writer, is Mark the teller of good news, the evangelist.
		Tradition generally supposes that John Mark and Mark the Gospel-writer were the same person, but “Mark” was a very common name in the first century, and there might very well have been two or even more men of that name in the early Church.
