The second Gospel was written by St. Mark, who, in the
New Testament, is sometimes called John Mark. Both he and his mother,
Mary, were highly esteemed in the early Church, and his mother's house
in Jerusalem served as a meeting place for Christians there.

St. Mark was associated with St. Paul and St. Barnabas
(who was Mark's cousin) on their missionary journey through the island
of Cyprus. Later, he accompanied St. Barnabas alone. We know also that
he was in Rome with St. Peter and St. Paul. Tradition ascribes to him
the founding of the Church in Alexandria.

St. Mark wrote the second Gospel, probably in Rome
sometime before the year 60 A.D.; he wrote it in Greek for the Gentile
converts to Christianity. Tradition tells us that St. Mark was requested
by the Romans to set down the teachings of St. Peter. This seems to be
confirmed by the position, which St. Peter has in this Gospel. In this
way, the second Gospel is a record of the life of Jesus as seen through
the eyes of the Prince of the Apostles. His feast day is April 25. He is
the Patron Saint of notaries.
