| - Saint James the Just (Hebrew: יעקב) (Greek Iάκωβος), (died 62 AD), also known as James of Jerusalem, James Adelphotheos, or James, the Brother of the Lord, was an important figure in Early Christianity. He is generally identified by Roman Catholics with James, son of Alphaeus and James the Less. According to the Church Fathers, he has posthumously been described as the first Bishop of Jerusalem, and is believed to be the author of the Epistle of James in the New Testament, the first of the Seventy Apostles, and originator of the Apostolic Decree of Acts 15. In the Epistle to the Galatians, Paul of Tarsus describes his first visit to Jerusalem where he met James and stayed with Cephas (Simon Peter). James is described by Josephus and in the New Testament as being "the brother of Jesus," and in the Liturgy of St James as "the brother of God" (Adelphotheos). Hegesippus (born 48 years after James' death) described him as a vegetarian.
