What does Bartholian mean?
Bartholomew, also known as Nathanael or Nathaniel, is one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. His name Bartholomew comes from the Aramaic 'bar Tola', which means 'son of Tola'. In the Gospel of John, he is identified as Nathanael, and is called 'an Israelite in whom there is no guile'. When Philip told Nathanael that he had found 'him whom Moses wrote about, the one about whom the prophets wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph', Nathanael responded by declaring that Jesus was the 'King of Israel', showing his deep faith and understanding of the Messianic prophecies. Bartholomew is traditionally believed to have preached the Gospel in India and to have been martyred there.
