October 18th is Saint Luke
October 18th is Saint Luke 's Day. This day is dedicated to Saint Luke, one of the New Testament evangelists, known for having written the Gospel of Luke and the Book of the Acts of the Apostles. He is often associated with medicine and art, and is considered the patron saint of doctors, artists, and painters. According to Christian tradition, Luke was a physician and one of Jesus' disciples, being the only evangelist who was not an apostle. He is celebrated not only for his written work, but also for his skill in portraying the life of Jesus and the early years of the Church. Luke is often depicted as a man with a book or a pen, symbolizing his role as the writer of the gospel. He is also commonly associated with an image of an ox or bullock, which represents sacrifice and redemption.
