St. James Intercisus
James was a favorite of King Yezdigerd I of Persia and a Christian. He abandoned his religion when Yesdigerd launched a persecution of the Christians. When the king died, James repented of his apostasy and declared himself to be a Christian to the new king, Bahram. When James refused to apostasize, he was executed by having his body cut apart piece by piece, beginning with his fingers (hence his surname Intercisus - cut to pieces), and then beheaded. His feast day is November 27.

St.James pray for us.I thank god for given this day to know about your sacrifice to the Almighty.
In these modern world,though we have fully gifted all the wealth by God,we are very foraway from Him.
Please lead us to foolow your footpath.
27th nov 2012:st james intercisus pray for us!
I honour our dear St. James Interciscus and ask that we all recall a young lady in USA who said"Yes"when asked if she were a Christian,and was consequentally shot to death. Read her book. Read Jesus Freaks too. Read modern day Martyrs. Pray for all .
I ask that the sacrafice of St. James Interciscus be offered in prayer for Christians throughout the world who are being persecuted by government& leaders. May their rewards be eternal and many.Amen.
St. James Intrcisus, please pry for us who are weak in faith.
I would like peace-adicted Japanese to read this information because the country gives a fix for the freedom of worship. They also enjoy no religion. They might profess capitalism or scientific technology. I have looked at Japanese catholic lay people. They enjoy Bibe interpretation procedure as sunset pleasures. It is a crying shame ,as I am a same Japanese ,that they does not understand autentic faith . St. James Intercisus, forgive Japanese.
They does not know anything!
St.James Intercisus, pray for us. "Me" have a good night's rest. That's what keeps me going the next day. Help us dear Saint to have peaceful sleep, a good night's rest. Keep us fresh and invigorated each day. Amen.
wow...imma go sleep now...
when did he live? the historical context is missing.
Funny that the purported martyrdom of St Peter the Aleut at the hands of a purported "Jesuit Inquisitor" so closely resembles that of St James Intercisus at the hands of a Persian persecutor of Christians.
he is great
I think the What happened to St.James could happen to anyone.It's definitely not incredible! Sadly, we have more people ready to cut others than to get cut for the sake of Jesus!!
I think thats crazy:)
he is definitely someone to look up to his feast day is on jordans b-day. he sounds sweet, JUST LIKE JORDAN
ily jordan forever && always
