Celebrated on April 25th in the Roman Catholic, Protestant Anglican, and Orthodox traditions, Saint Mark's Day is often marked by reading the Gospel of Mark, which is the shortest of the four Gospels and focuses on Jesus as a man of action. In some traditions, particularly in Venice, where he is the patron saint, the Feast of St. Mark is a day of festive celebrations, including the custom of giving a rosebud, or bocolo, to loved ones. While not one of the twelve apostles, Mark was a follower of St. Peter and recorded his eyewitness accounts of Jesus's life. He is often depicted as a winged lion, and is recognized as the founder of the Christian Church in Alexandria, and is also the patron saint of interpreters, lawyers, prisoners, and Venice.

Believed to be the earliest extant Gospel and the second of the four canonical Gospels and one of the three synoptic Gospels. Mark’s gospel tells of the ministry of Jesus from his baptism by John the Baptist to his death, the burial of his body, and the discovery of his empty tomb. It portrays Jesus as a teacher, an exorcist, a healer, and a miracle worker, though it does not mention a miraculous birth or divine pre-existence. Jesus refers to himself as the Son of Man. He is called the Son of God but keeps his messianic nature secret; even his disciples fail to understand him. All this is in keeping with the Christian interpretation of prophecy, which is believed to foretell the fate of the messiah as suffering servant.

MIRACLES — "A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household". Jesus said this in Nazareth, where he was rejected by his family and neighbors. The people of his home town knew Jesus well, but they didn't believe who he was. They called him "the son of Mary" to reject his virgin birth and Messianic claims. Jesus was unable to perform miracles in Nazareth because of their lack of faith.

Kateri Tekakwitha (1656-80) was born in the Mohawk village of Ossernenon, in present-day New York State. Influenced by French Jesuit missionaries and converted to Catholicism at age 19, and after taking a vow of perpetual virginity, she left her village, and moved to the Jesuit mission village of Kahnawake, just south of Montreal, Canada. There she died five years later, respected for her piety and good works. She was beatified in 1980 by Pope John Paul II, and canonized as a Saint by Pope Benedict XVI at St. Peter's Basilica in 2012.
