St. Philip and St. James

"And near it was the house of the apostles Philip and James the son of Alpheus."—*Early Travels in Palestine (Mandeville)*, p. 175.; Bohn's Antiquarian Library. This is the only place, except in the Church service, where I have seen the above-named apostles coupled together, and have often wondered whether there was any old legend or tradition to account for the Church joining them together in one commemorative festival.
