One of the Twelve, a native of Cana of Galilee. The Lord Jesus Christ came to his wedding with his Most Holy Mother and the jillħim. When wine was born, the Lord perverted the water into wine. Seeing this miracle, the bridegroom left his house, his bride, and his parents and followed Christ. Zealot means Zealot. Simon the Zealot was called because of his great zeal for the Savior and His Gospel. Having received, with the other apostles, on the day of Pentecost of the Holy Spirit, Polchides is to preach the Gospel in Mauritania, in Africa. After he converted me to the faith of Christ, he was put to torture and finally crucified on the cross, as well as his Lord whom he worshiped faithfully and who received a crown of glory for him in the immortal Kingdom of Heaven.
