Philip was born at Betsaida and started as a disciple of John the Baptist, he followed Christ after the Baptis's death. James the son of Aphaeus is called 'James the Less', to distinguish him from James the son of Zebedee. When the feast was intituted in 560, both James' were considered to be the same person. Nowadays, scholars prefers to divide them, in which case we might think of today as being the feast of Philip and James and James.
Philip found Nathanael and said to him, 'We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the Law and whom the prophets foretold: he is Jesus, son of Joseph, from Nazareth.' Alleluia.
