It’s Saint Luke Feast Day! “Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a narration of the things that have been accomplished among us; According as they have delivered them unto us, WHO FROM THE BEGINNING were eyewitnesses & ministers of the word”. Who else could he mean as being “from the beginning” other than Our Lady!?

The Advocota Nostra the oldest image of Our Lady known to exist

Saint Luke was also known as an artist & it is believed, painted this image of Our Lady from life: the Advocota Nostra! Catholic author Paul Badde informs us:

A list of her images and titles gathered from all over the world may number in the thousands, but the oldest known image is said to date back to the first century, originating from the Holy Land or Syria. It is an icon that, tradition tells us, was painted by St. Luke himself in encaustic, an ancient painting technique with hot wax and resin. Brought to Rome to save it from destruction during the iconoclasm of the Eastern Church, it is a treasure that has been hidden away for centuries. Although the fragile linden wood icon is now worm-eaten and crumbling, the face of the Blessed Mother remains, and it is exquisite! She is known by a very unusual name — the “Advocata Nostra,” Our Lawyer.

Dom Prosper Gueranger gives us a great insight into Saint Luke’s life and accomplishments.

Consequently we class the journeys of St. Paul and St. Thecla, and the whole fable of the baptized lion, among apocryphal writings. For is it possible that the apostle’s inseparable companion should know everything concerning him except this one thing? Moreover Tertullian, who lived near to those times, relates that a certain priest in Asia, an admirer of St. Paul, was convicted by St. John of having written that book; which he confessed he had done out of love for St. Paul, and was on that account deposed. Some are of the opinion that whenever St. Paul in his epistles says: According to my Gospel, he means that of St. Luke.

St. Luke, however, was instructed in the Gospel not only by the Apostle St. Paul, who had never seen the Lord in the flesh, but also by the other Apostles. This he declares in the beginning of his work, saying: According as they have delivered them unto us, who from the beginning were eye-witnesses and ministers of the word. He wrote his Gospel, then, from what he had heard, but the Acts of the Apostles from what he had himself seen. He lived eighty-four years, and was never married. His body lies at Constantinople, whither it was translated from Achaia, together with the relics of St. Andrew the Apostle, in the twentieth year of Constantine.

Sancta Lucem, ora pro nobis!
