St Matthew HistoryThe Observance of Saint Matthew commemorates the life and works of the Apostle Matthew, one of the twelve apostles and author of the Gospel of Matthew. It serves as an opportunity for Christians to celebrate the contributions of Saint Matthew to the faith, reflect on his teachings, and recommit to living according to Christian principles. One of the key aspects of the observance of Saint Matthew is his role as the patron saint of bankers and accountants, making his feast day particularly significant to those in the financial industry. While the origins of Saint Matthew's observance date back to the early centuries of Christianity, it has since spread to various parts of the world, including America. Saint Matthew is highly revered among American Christians not only for his contributions as an author of one of the Gospels, but also for his example of leaving behind a life of sin and material gain (as a tax collector) in order to follow Jesus Christ. Additionally, his patronage of bankers and accountants speaks to the significance of ethical financial practices, a theme that resonates with many in the United States. The observance of Saint Matthew is typically marked by church services, prayers, and homilies that honor the life of the apostle and encourage reflection on his teachings. It is common for the Gospel of Matthew to be read and studied during these services, which provide an opportunity for Christians to deepen their understanding of both the historical and spiritual significance of Saint Matthew. The feast day occurs on September 21st each year. Saint Matthew facts
