May He Who was born in a cave and lay in a manger for our salvation, Christ...
According to some, St. James was a son of Joseph the Betrothed, born of the wife that the latter had before he was betrothed to the Ever-virgin. Hence he was the brother of the Lord, Who was also thought to be the son of Joseph (Mt. 13: 55). But some say that he was a nephew of Joseph, and the son of his brother Cleopas, who was also called Alphaeus and Mary his wife, who was the first cousin of the Theotokos. This James is called the Less (Mk 15:4) to distinguish him from James, the son of Zebedee, who was called the Great. He became the first Bishop of Jerusalem, elevated to this episcopal rank by the Apostles, according
to Eusebius (4th c.). Having ascended the crest of the Temple on Passover, he bore testimony concerning his belief in Jesus. Many of those present cried, "Hosanna to the Son of David." But the Scribes and Pharisees cried, "So, even the just one hath been led astray," and at the command of Ananias the high priest, the Apostle was cast down headlong from thence, then was stoned, and while he prayed for his slayers, his head was crushed by a wooden club. The first of the Catholic (General) Epistles written to the Jews in the Diaspora who believed in Christ was written by this James.  The Synaxarion: http://www.goarch.org/chapel
