1. Saint Mark Marker

Inscription. Mark was converted by Peter and accompanied him to Rome, acting as his secretary and interpreter. Mark put into writing the accounts of Peter’s talks on our Lord’s life. He is represented by a lion because his Gospel begins with a reference to St. John the Baptist as, “the voice of one crying in the desert.” Mark was sent to Egypt to found the Church of Alexandria, there he established the first Christian school.
