Saint Bartholomew the Apostle was one of the Twelve Apostles and was a close friend of Saint Philip--his name is mentioned with Philip's in the Gospels. It was Philip who brought Saint Bartholomew to Jesus. He may have preached in Asia Minor, Ethiopia, India, and Armenia. He died a martyr in Armenia. They really do have patron saints for everything becuase he is the patron saint of Florentine cheese merchants!
