SIMON

Simon was a member of the Zealot party. He was successor to James the Just as bishop or pastor of the Jerusalem Church. Simon holds a fish on a book, referring to his success in fishing for men through the gospel. He holds an ax because he is said to have been martyred by being beheaded. At the bottom of this panel is Christ preaching in the temple.
