The Cup of Christ—Part 15

11 o’clock.  Hatchet and book.  Matthias, who replaced Judas (Acts 1).  Tradition holds that he was beheaded or first stoned and then beheaded.

The scene is depicted in The Martyrdom of Saint Matthias.

When the twelve disciples are portrayed together (excluding the Last Supper), Matthias is often used instead of Judas as we see in this window.

In part 16, we move to Peter at the 12 o’clock position where we will spend some time visualizing Peter through the eyes of a master.
