DESCRIPTION:St Luke is one of the Four Evangelists\, the traditionally asc
 ribed authors of the four gospels. It is also generally believed that he w
 rote the Acts of the Apostles. He is mentioned a few times in the New Test
 ament and the Epistle to the Colossians refers to him as a physician. He i
 s also thought to have been a disciple of St Paul.\n\nMany scholars believ
 e that Luke was born of a Greek family and lived in the Hellenistic city o
 f Antioch in Ancient Syria\, and it is widely accepted that the theology o
 f Luke–Acts points to a gentile Christian writing for a gentile audience
  or else to a community made up of both Jewish and gentile Christians.\n\n
 Luke died at age 84 in Boeotia\, near Thebes in central Greece. According 
 to one tradition\, he died a martyr\, reportedly having been hanged from a
 n olive tree. Nikephoros Kallistos Xanthopoulos\, Greek historian of the 1
 4th century recorded that Luke's tomb was located in Thebes and later tran
 sferred to Constantinople in the year 357.\n\nAs with many saints\, there 
 are various claims as to where his remains are today. In Luke’s case the
 se claims account for some eight bodies and nine heads\, located in a wide
  range of places! However following scientific investigation and carbon da
 ting\, it Is generally now believed that Luke’s body lies in the Abbey o
 f Santa Giustina in Padua\, his head in St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague and 
 a rib at his tomb at the Holy Church of Luke the Evangelist in Thebes.\n\n
 In traditional depictions\, St Luke is often portrayed with an ox or bull\
 , generally regarded as sacrificial animals\, because his Gospel stresses 
 the sacrificial nature of Christ's ministry. Today he is venerated a patro
 n saint of artists\, physicians\, bachelors\, notaries\, butchers and brew
 ers.\n\nNB We will be joned at this service by an Interfaith choir from tw
 o neighbouring congregations in the San Francisco Bay Area.\n \nPicture ab
