St Matthew HistoryThe Observance of Saint Matthew is an important Christian event commemorating the life and works of the Apostle Matthew. Regarded as one of Jesus's twelve apostles and the author of the Gospel of Matthew, Saint Matthew holds a significant place within Christianity. His teachings and writings played a crucial role in establishing the foundation of the Christian faith and influencing its doctrines throughout history. Saint Matthew, also known as Levi, was originally a tax collector for the Romans - a profession often despised by the Jewish community. Yet, he was called by Jesus to become his disciple, illustrating the power of redemption and the importance of mercy. His story shows that no one is beyond forgiveness and acceptance, and that even those previously considered outcasts can find a place in the Christian community. For Canadians, Saint Matthew’s story demonstrates the universality of Christian teachings and the potential for transformation within all people, regardless of their past actions. This message of redemption and inclusivity can resonate with individuals throughout Canada, a nation known for its multiculturalism and diversity. In Canada, the Observance of Saint Matthew is primarily marked by Christians attending special masses or services where the Gospel of Matthew is read and reflected upon. Religious leaders may preach on particular aspects of Saint Matthew's life, his contribution to the development of Christ's teachings, or the significance of his story of redemption. While not a public holiday in Canada, the Observance of Saint Matthew is celebrated annually on September 21st, providing a meaningful opportunity for Christians nationwide to deepen their faith and understanding of this vital apostle.
