On February 24th we celebrate the feast of St Matthias! The book of Acts tells us that he became the 12th diciple replacing Judas Iscariot, chosen by the 11.
“23And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
25That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
26And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles. ” Acts 1:23-26
