John (the Beloved) Window

John was the son of Zebedee and Salome, and the brother of James the Greater. John alone remained near his beloved Master at the foot of the Cross on Calvary with Mary and took her into his care as the last legacy of Christ.

The Fourth Evangelist has shown us most clearly how close the relationship was in which he always stood to his Lord and Master by the title with which he is accustomed to indicate himself without giving his name: "the disciple whom Jesus loved". After Christ's Ascension and the Descent of the Holy Spirit, John took, together with Peter, a prominent part in the founding and guidance of the Church.

John, the Apostle and Evangelist, lived in Asia Minor in the last decades of the first century and from Ephesus had guided the Churches of that province.

In his hands the pen and book represent his writings in the New Testament.
