Sterling Silver Oval St. Matthew Medal

Little is known about St. Matthew, except that he was the son of Alpheus, and he was likely born in Galilee. He worked as a tax collector, which was a hated profession during the time of Christ.


According to the Gospel, Matthew was working at a collection booth in Capernaum when Christ came to him and asked, "Follow me." With this simple call, Matthew became a disciple of Christ.


From Matthew we know of the many doings of Christ and the message Christ spread of salvation for all people who come to God through Him.

The Gospel account of Matthew tells the same story as that found in the other three Gospels, so scholars are certain of its authenticity.

His book is the first of the four Gospels in the New Testament
