THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT JOHN
The Evangelist and Apostle Whom Jesus Loved
Feast Day: December 27
St. John, the beloved apostle of Jesus, was the son of Zebedee and the brother of James the Greater. As they were mending their nets on the sea of Galilee, Jesus passed by and called them. Immediately, they left their boat and their father Zebedee and follow Jesus. According to the Gospel of Mark, Jesus nicknamed them Boanerges, meaning 'sons of thunder', on account of their strong temperament.
John was the youngest of the apostles, and he defined himself as the apostle whom Jesus loved. He was present at the Transfiguration, and during the Last Supper, he leaned on Jesus' breast to ask for the name of the betrayer. During the crucifixion, John is the only apostle who stood at the foot of the cross, receiving the sublime mission to care for the Blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of the Lord.
According to tradition in 49 AD, John settled at Ephesus, where he witnessed Mary's assumption. From there, he was exiled to the island of Patmos, where he wrote the Book of Revelation (Apocalypse). He returned to Ephesus a few years later, where he wrote three letters, which contain the sublime definition of the divinity: 'God is love.' There, he also wrote the fourth Gospel, whose sublime theology was represented in art as an eagle.
When John was already old, he used to speak to his flock only these words: 'My little children, love one another.'
When they asked him why he kept repeating the same sentence, he replied: 'Because it is word of the Lord, and if you keep it you do enough.'
John died in peace at Ephesus in 101 AD.

So in the tradition of the Church St. John the Evangelist is considered to be the youngest apostle og Jesus and I ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!! Why you may ask? It's this verse right here.
John 20:4 "Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first."
Tell me that this is not youngest sibling behavior! Look me in the eye and tell me that telling everyone that you hve outdone your older sibling in something is not youngest sibling behavior!

me explaining the significance of historical depictions of john the apostle being highly feminine to the emphasis of love as a fundamental value in john's writings and the fact that john was known as christ's beloved apostle to my atheist girlfriend who literally knew nothing about christianity before meeting me as she smiles and nods politely
