POPULARITY
A medal for a massacre. A Te Deum for thousands of deaths. A celebration that still shocks centuries later. On this day in history—11 September 1572—Pope Gregory XIII ordered Rome to give thanks for not one, but two "victories": the Catholic triumph over the Ottomans at Lepanto and the mass slaughter of French Protestants during the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre. In this episode: The shocking papal reaction to the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre The political and religious tensions behind Gregory's “thanksgiving” Why he linked the massacre with the naval victory at Lepanto The commemorative medal and what it tells us about 16th-century propaganda Gregory XIII's surprising legacy—from calendar reform to Jesuit patronage To some, it was divine justice. To others—then and now—it was unthinkable.

The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!” Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”(English Standard Version)

August 24th, 2025: St Bartholomew - Flayed Alive for Christ; Worship & Prayer in Ordinary Time; St. Nathanael Bartholomew - ‘Come & See' the Lord
The sermon from the Festival of St. Bartholomew by Pastor Atkinson.
A Sermon for St. Bartholomew's Day Acts 5:12-16 by William Klock St. Bartholomew the Apostle. He's pretty much a mystery. As far as the New Testament goes, Matthew, Mark, and Luke list him as one of the twelve. Beyond that, we have nothing. His name, Bar tholomais probably means “son of Tolomai”, but it may actually be his given name since when Matthew, Mark, and Luke want to refer to someone as “son of So-and-so” they use the Greek way of doing it not the Aramaic “bar So-and-so”. Since John never mentions Bartholomew, but does mention Nathanael, some think that the two are the same. I don't find the argument very convincing. Various stories and legends describe him going off to evangelise India or Pontus or Armenia, amongst other places. When I consider sources and dates, I think the story of him taking the gospel to India is probably the most likely. Almost without a doubt he was martyred for proclaiming Jesus the Messiah—probably flayed and maybe then beheaded. He was an apostle—one of Jesus' hand-picked messengers sent to herald the good news—so what we can confidently say is that that's exactly what he did and that he probably died, very painfully, for the sake of his Lord. But since there are no scripture passages that tell us about him, our Epistle and Gospel today are simply passages that tell us about the apostles in general. So with that, I'd like to look at our Epistle —Acts 5:12-16. Here's, again, what Luke writes: Many signs and wonders were done by the hands of the apostles amongst the people. They were all together in Solomon's Porch. None of the others dared to join them, though the people spoke highly of them. But more people, a crowd of both men and women, believed the Lord and were added to their number. They used to bring the sick into the streets and place them on beds and mats so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on them as he went by. Crowds gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing people who were sick or troubled by unclean spirits. All of them were healed. One Saturday morning back in my computer tech days I found a woman sitting in her car outside the door when I showed up to open the store. She was from out of town and afraid that if she waited to call until we were open, there wouldn't be time to fix her computer the same day. So she just showed up. And she had a box of doughnuts by way of apology—or bribe—really a little of both. So I got to work on the computer and the doughnuts while she watched and talked to me. They were really good doughnuts and I told her and she told me she'd made them herself. In fact, she owned a little doughnut shop in a tourist town an hour away. And she told me how she got started. There was only one place in town that sold doughnuts, but they didn't make them. Their doughnuts were delivered from the city and were a day old—at least—by the time they were served. She opened up a little place in a converted camping trailer selling doughnuts and coffee to the tourists, but the coffee shop that had been there forever had a corner on the coffee and doughnut market, plus a primo location to catch the tourists. She was about to call it quits, when the owner of the garden shop across the street from the coffee shop came to see her. The garden shop and the coffee shop were in some kind of spat and the owner of the garden shop decided to invite this woman to park her trailer in their parking lot. See, the tourist industry there was all about tulips. People would come to see the tulips and the reason that old coffee shop was in such a good location was because the place across the street—the garden shop—sold tulip bulbs from the local growers. People came to see the tulips, then they went to the garden shop to buy bulbs, and finally ended up across the street for coffee and doughnuts. But coffee and doughnuts in the parking lot of the garden shop was more convenient than coffee and doughnuts across the street. It helped that her doughnuts were better and that they were fresh. So pretty soon all the people were crowding around her trailer for doughnuts instead of going to the old mainstay across the street. And, of course, the coffee shop owner wasn't happy. He went to the town council and tried to have “mobile restaurants” banned from town—an early version of today's restauranteurs trying to ban competition from food trucks. It didn't work and this woman who'd brought her computer in eventually won the doughnut war. That's a bit like what's going on in Acts 5. Pay attention to the fact that this is Acts 5. This is right at the beginning of the story. These are the days and weeks just after Pentecost. And if Peter and James and John had gone back home to Galilee and done these signs and wonders, they would have drawn crowds just like Jesus had done there, but being so far away from Jerusalem, they probably wouldn't have drawn the ire of the Jewish religious authorities. The Pharisees, of course, were always there scowling and scolding, but the Pharisees weren't the gatekeepers. They were just a popular interest group. But Peter and the other apostles didn't go back to Galilee. They stayed right in Jerusalem. Not only that, but Luke writes that they were meeting together in Solomon's Porch. Solomon's Porch was a great colonnade on the eastern side of the outer court of the temple. So the apostles would go to the temple to worship, but they would also spend their days gathered together, preaching, and doing signs and wonders in the outer court. This was where all the people were coming and going and it was probably near the house where the serving priests lived. It was a busy place. The temple wasn't a church, but what the apostles were doing would be a bit like coming to church and then hanging out afterward on the front porch or in the rectory garden. And the crowds would gather. Some of them stopped to listen or to be healed on their way to or from the temple proper, but many people were coming just to hear the teaching of the apostles. Many people were coming, just like they'd come to Jesus, because they'd heard that Peter and the others were casting out demons, giving sight to the blind, and healing the lame. And I fully expect that Peter was repeating several times a day the same thing he preached on Pentecost—about Jesus fulfilling the promises of the old covenant and making a new and better one. They'd set up a doughnut stand right in front of the established coffee shop that had been there forever. And they were selling delicious, fresh doughnuts while the coffee shop was still trying to sell day-olds delivered yesterday. So you can understand that this raised the ire of the Jewish authorities. The apostles weren't just tweaking the noses of some Pharisees in backwater villages. They were—you might say—stealing customers from the religious authorities and doing so right on their front porch. And let's talk about the healings that were happening, because I've noticed that we're very, very, very, very prone to taking passages like this out of context. It's not just that the apostles were working a multitude of healing miracles. It gets pretty weird. Luke says that people would even lay out their sick loved ones just so Peter's shadow would fall on them and they'd be healed. Every last one of them, Luke seems to be saying, was healed. The part about Peter's shadow seems kind of over-the-top. I can't help but think of various medieval stories of people being healed by the relics of saints or people stealing Baby Jesus' diapers off Mary's washline and being healed by them. And yet Peter's shadow isn't the only weird thing like this in Acts that we might be tempted to doubt. Luke also tells us later in Acts that people would take Paul's handkerchiefs and use them to heal the sick. And there are people today who think that stuff like this should be the norm always and everywhere. There are scammers sending out vials of holy water or oil as a cure-all and televangelists who will wave their jackets at a line-up of people and claim they've been healed. And if you don't experience miracles like this in your own life or in your own church, well, they'll shame you and tell you that you lack faith. A few weeks ago someone sent me some commentary about a new “worship” song that came out of one of those sorts of places. The song calls for revival and courage and strength and faith, which are all good things and all things the church today often lacks, but then the heart of the song is a prayer for a new Pentecost. They don't see the sort of miraculous happenings today that we see in Acts 5 and they think that what we need is another Pentecost. What they're saying is that the modern church—or at least mainstream churches that don't do the things they claim to do—lack the Holy Spirit. And I cringed. That's no different than saying that because some Christians still walk in sin, we need Jesus to die again. No. A thousand times, no! Just like Jesus death and resurrection, Pentecost has already happened. It was a one-time event. We don't need another one. What we need is to live as the people, as the community, as the church born that day when God poured out his Spirit. And, in some cases, we need to read scripture better so that we don't set unrealistic expectations. Remember, Brothers and Sisters, miracles are acts of God, not acts of men and women. If God wants us to see miracles, nothing is going to stop him. If he could act through a pagan prophet like Balaam, he can act through even the most lukewarm Christian. Maybe the problem is that we've misunderstood what God was doing through the apostles in the book of Acts. Remember that context is everything, so let's look at this story about the apostles in context. When Jesus had risen from the grave a few week earlier, he inaugurated God's new creation. He was the firstborn of the resurrection. God's new life went out like a shockwave from the empty tomb on Easter. And that new life, that new creation met the disciples of Jesus on Pentecost. And God wanted it be clear, he wanted the world to see that in Jesus and in this new covenant people who identified with Jesus, his kingdom, his new creation was being born. And so, first with Jesus and then with the apostles and those first believers, God did amazing things so that no one would or could mistake what was happening. Remember the people in the gospels, people like Nicodemus who said to Jesus, “No one can do the things you do unless he's from God.” Jesus' signs and wonders validated his messiahship. And now, as we get into Acts, we see that God wanted to make sure that when those first Christians started telling people the good news that Jesus had risen from the dead and that new creation had begun, they had his witness, they had these signs and wonders to go along with their preaching and their actions. But it's wouldn't be like that forever. Miracles would stop being noteworthy if they happened all the time. We really need to pay attention to the big biblical story here. Miracles aren't a common thing in that story. They cluster around the times when God does something new. Think of the exodus from Egypt. The biggest cluster of miracles in the Old Testament is found in the Exodus: from the burning bush, to the plagues sent on Egypt, to the parting of the Red Sea and the drowning of Pharaoh's army, to the water from the rock and the manna in the wilderness. But it doesn't stop there. That generation knew miracles like no other. They saw the Lord in the pillar of cloud and the pillar of fire, leading them to the promised land. They knew the bronze serpent Moses raised up. They knew the miraculous battles won for them by the Lord. And when they marched into Canaan, the Lord dried up the Jordan. He won their battles and toppled cities like Jericho. And it happened so that Israel would powerfully know his goodness and his glory and then pass that knowledge to future generations. And, too, the Lord did these thing so that the nations would take note. The God of Israel is powerful and glorious and cares for his people. He's unlike any other god. But then take note: those future generations were expected to know the goodness and the faithfulness and glory of God, not through ongoing daily miracles, but through the witness of their fathers and through the scriptures. And, too, each new generation bore in its flesh the sign of circumcision, the sign of God's covenant with them and of his faithfulness. And every year the families of Israel gathered together and ate the Passover and participated themselves in the glorious events of the Exodus. The Lord took his people from the witness of miracles to the witness of what we might call the common means of grace. Miracles convinced a people who didn't know the Lord to trust and obey him. But the covenant people who then knew him, who lived with him in their midst, who had his word, who bore his covenant sign and ate his covenant meal—they didn't need miracles to know the Lord was worthy of their trust and obedience. And, Brothers and Sisters, the Lord followed exactly this pattern in the new exodus. Jesus' ministry and then the ministry of the apostles were full of the miraculous. Jesus himself and then the Spirit are the evidence of God's goodness and faithfulness and glory, but as Jesus led his people—not this time into Canaan, but into his new creation—he made that new creation manifestly real as he made all the sad things of this world become untrue, as he undid the real-world consequences of sin and death and as he showed how he had defeated the devils at the cross. In the book of Acts God shows the world very dramatically what the church is—that it is the beachhead of his kingdom, his new creation in the world. His church is the new covenant community, the temple in which he now dwells, the steward of both his Spirit and his gospel who will spread his new creation wherever it—wherever they—wherever we—go. Acts is about God's formation of his new people. Consider that the passage just before our Epistle today is the story of Ananias and Sapphira. It's telling that people will think miraculous healings should be everyday occurrences, but I've never heard anyone suggest that God striking down people who lie to the church should be just as ordinary. If it were, we'd have a lot of dead faith-healers. But we shouldn't expect that to happen. The Lord only needed to strike down a couple like Ananias and Sapphira once. The point isn't that this is what happens to people who lie to the church. The point is that this one frightening miracle should—and I think it has—reverberated down through the generations with the message that God expects holiness of his people. Acts 5 begins with that call to holiness and it makes it very plain that a church that lacks holiness, even if it isn't literally struck dead, will die. Jesus will take away its lampstand. We've seen that through history and we see it today. So, after establishing that holiness is an essential characteristic of the people of God (and not, that's what much of Exodus is about as well), Chapter 5 then continues with these signs and wonders done by the apostles to back up their proclamation that in Jesus new creation has begun. Again, the church doesn't ordinarily need miracles to show God's new creation. We show the world God's new creation as we live the fruit of the Spirit, as we bring the reconciling power of the gospel to broken people and broken relationships, and as we work to bring things like mercy and justice and life to a sin-broken world. But in those early days, the Jewish authorities could say that's just what they were already doing. So God gave better doughnuts to the apostles. And that's then followed by the arrest of the apostles by the temple authorities. They were angry because they'd set up a doughnut shop on their front porch and were stealing their customers. Just as they'd crucified Jesus to say, “He's not really the Messiah,” they have Peter and the others arrested to send the message, “Despite their miracles, these men are frauds. Don't believe them when they claim to be a new temple. That's blasphemy!” But do you remember what happened? That night as the apostles sat in their jail cells an angel appeared, set them free, and sent them back to the temple court to keep preaching the gospel. The next day the priests met to decide what to do with the apostles. They sent for them to be brought from the jail and that's when the guards reported they were gone. And that's when someone came running into the council chamber saying, “Look! The guys you arrested and put in prison are right now in the temple preaching.” It's God, again, backing up his newly established church with miracles. When he raised Jesus from the dead, he overturned the false verdict of Pilate and the Jews and this time he overturned the false verdict of the priests and validates the good news Peter was preaching. And the apostles took it to heart. They kept preaching and preaching and preaching—in Jerusalem, in Judea, in Samaria, and eventually to the world—and all but John were martyred. They were killed for their faithful proclamation of Jesus. But they knew the same God who had raised Jesus from the dead would one day raise them. Death had no more power over them than the demons or sickness or prison doors. And their story was told through the generations of Christians to come: to Christians in Rome, to Christians in pagan nations, to Christians living under Communism, to Christian missionaries who gave their lives to proclaim to the good news to hostile people. They didn't need to experience miracles first hand. Just as Isreal knew the stories of the first exodus from Egypt, these Christian brothers and sisters knew the stories of the second exodus from sin and death. And as Israel bore God's covenant sign of circumcision and celebrated the Passover and remembered God's goodness and faithfulness and glory, so those Christians bore themselves the sign of baptism and celebrated the Lord's Supper and not only knew the goodness and faithfulness and glory of God, but they also knew—as we should too—that we are the embodiment of God's new creation, we are the stewards of his Spirit and his gospel, we are the beachhead of God's new creation. Miracles or not, what we need to remember is that the power to defeat the enemies of God is the power of his gospel and the power of his Spirit. It always has been and it always will be. Let's pray: O almighty and eternal God, who gave your apostle Saint Bartholomew grace truly to believe and to preach your Word: Grant that your Church may love that Word, and both preach and receive it; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Morning Prayer and The Lord's Supper (St. Bartholomew's Day AD 2025) from Trinity Anglican Church (Connersville, IN).
August 24, 2025Today's Reading: John 1:43-51Daily Lectionary: 1 Kings 5:1-18; 1 Kings 6:1-7:50; 2 Corinthians 1:23-2:17“Nathanael said to him, ‘Can anything good come out of Nazareth?' Philip said to him, ‘Come and see'... Nathanael answered Him, ‘Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!'” (John 1:46, 49)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. For Nathanel, also known as Bartholomew, there was “no skin off my back” for telling the truth. He tells it like it is, even if the truth wouldn't be popular or well-received. “An Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!” (v. 47) Philip knows this. He knows that this man of truth needs to meet Jesus. Although he doesn't hold back his skepticism that anything good could come out of Nazareth, Christ has compassion and lets Bartholomew know. Whatever hurt, brokenness, or time of prayer he went through under that fig tree, Jesus saw him and knew him. Now, the Son of God and King of Israel was calling him to be His disciple.Are you one who tells the truth, even if it is not popular or well-received? Or is there deceit in your life—lies and cover-ups for your secrets and exaggerations? No matter what, Jesus comes to you. The Son of God has seen you under your “fig tree.” Just like He saw Adam and Eve under their fig leaves with all of their shame and brokenness, but He doesn't leave you there in despair, He brings comfort out of knowing He sees you. Jesus has compassion on our first parents, on Bartholomew, and on you. At the fig tree, it is not a sense of “Oh! I've been caught!” but a comfort that the Son of God and King of Israel cares for you and calls and gathers you to Himself!Bartholomew met a rather gruesome end in this earthly life. You see, Bartholomew was martyred for telling the truth of Christ in Armenia. Sadly, proclaiming that Jesus Christ is the Son of God meant there was “skin off his back,” as St. Bartholomew was skinned alive and then killed. Yet we rejoice that this wasn't the end for Batholomew; this holy martyr is alive in Christ. This saint in whom there is no deceit is resting in perfect peace with the King of Israel right now, awaiting the Day of Resurrection, when his skin and his entire body will be resurrected and glorified, to live eternally with the Son of God whom he preached.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Almighty God, Your Son, Jesus Christ, chose Bartholomew to be an apostle to preach the blessed Gospel. Grant that Your Church may love what he believed and preach what he taught; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.Rev.

If you did a search by name “Bartholomew” in your Bible, you would not find much on him. He is listed as one of the twelve apostles in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Acts. The Augsburg confession says that we remember the saints in our church in order that we may emulate their faith and example, according to our callings. What is Bartholomew's example, being on some lists?

Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. The choir sings the first part of Handel's "Foundling Hospital Anthem", composed for a benefit concert to raise money for the Foundling Hospital children's charity founded by Thomas Coram. It sets text adapted from Psalm 41: Blessed are they that considereth the poor. The charity continues to this day as the Thomas Coram Foundation for Children and owns original scores of this anthem and "Messiah" which are displayed at the Foundling Museum in London and were donated to them by Handel. After a reading from the Gospel according to John, Alison recalls being vicar at a previous parish dedicated to St Bartholomew whose feast we mark today. Bartholomew is a new testament saint who is also known as Nathaniel and for his utter scepticism. Alison speaks of his remarkable journey from cynic to martyr. We close with the hymn "Be thou my guardian and my guide."

A royal wedding meant to bring peace… instead ended in one of the bloodiest massacres of the 16th century. On 18th August 1572, Henry of Navarre—leader of the French Huguenots and future King Henry IV—married Margaret of Valois, daughter of King Henry II and Catherine de' Medici, at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. This marriage was supposed to heal France's religious divisions between Protestants and Catholics. But just six days later, the streets of Paris ran red with blood in the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre. - Admiral Gaspard de Coligny, the Huguenot leader, was shot in an attempted assassination… - Before dawn on 24th August, he was murdered and thrown from a window… - What followed was three days of brutal killings in Paris, spreading to towns and cities across France. Between 10,000 and 30,000 Protestants were slaughtered in one of the darkest chapters of the Reformation. In today's episode of On This Day in Tudor History, I explore: - The political and religious stakes behind the marriage - The attempted assassination that sparked panic - The horrific wave of violence that shocked Europe - What became of Henry of Navarre and Margaret of Valois Have you heard of the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre before?

Paris, August 1572: the bells ring before dawn, and by nightfall thousands of Huguenots are dead.

Last week The Spectator held a live event entitled ‘Recovering the Sacred' in the glorious surroundings of St Bartholomew the Great, the oldest parish church in the City of London.The speakers included two London parish priests – one Anglican, one Catholic – who have contributed much to the growing interest among young people in traditional liturgy and Christian theology, a development that the hierarchy of their respective churches certainly didn't foresee.They were the Rev Marcus Walker, Rector of St Bart's, whose Prayer Book Evensongs and Eucharists attract large numbers of young professionals to his ancient church; and Fr Julian Large, the Provost of the Brompton Oratory, where an increasingly youthful congregation flocks to Latin Masses.We also heard from Dr Cosima Gilhammer, a Fellow in English at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, whose writings on the rhythms and symbolism of the liturgy are deeply inspiring; The Spectator's editor, Michael Gove; and the Rev Prof Andrew Davison, Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford University, who also holds a doctorate in biochemistry.The evening concluded with a panel discussion chaired by Holy Smoke's presenter, Damian Thompson, and – a real treat – a performance of Catholic and Anglican motets sung by the renowned choir of St Bart's.The event was completely sold out. Inevitably, many were disappointed not to attend in person – but the microphones were running, and so we are delighted to present ‘Recovering the Sacred'.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Nearly everyone loves Robert Prevost, the unassuming baseball fan from Chicago who unexpectedly became Pope Leo XIV this year. But as he prepares to spend his summer in Castel Gandolfo he has some difficult decisions to make. Is he prepared to clear up all the doctrinal confusion created by his predecessor Pope Francis? And will he allow liberal bishop to continue to persecute Catholics who prefer the ancient Latin form of Mass?

Catherine de' Medici has gone down in history as the sinister 'serpent queen', who had a troop of female spies in her court and may have instigated the deadly St Bartholomew's Day massacre. But is this a fair judgement of the 16th-century queen and regent? In this 'Life of the week' episode, Emily Briffett speaks to historian Leah Redmond Chang to reassess Catherine's twisted reputation – and shine a light on her struggles and achievements as one of the era's most powerful people.
