_St. Philip and St. James._--"And near it was the house of the apostles
Philip and James the son of Alpheus."--_Early Travels in Palestine
(Mandeville)_, p. 175.; Bohn's _Antiquarian Library_. This is the only
place, except in the Church service, where I have seen the above-named
apostles coupled together, and have often wondered whether there was any
old legend or tradition to account for the Church joining them together
in one commemorative festival.
