John was the brother of James the Greater and probably the youngest of the apostles. John (the “beloved”) shared an especially close relationship with Jesus and was with him at key points in his ministry and his life. John was the only one of the apostles to have died a natural death.
Symbol: John has two symbols: one as apostle and one as evangelist. The serpent and chalice on the symbol for John the apostle represent attempts on John’s life.
