Saint Zacchaeus the Apostle
The story of Zacchaeus lies in the Lucan Gospel Capital IT 1-10. He is the well -known Architect of Jericho, who climbed into the sycamore (because he did not favor his height) to see the passing Jesus.
The Lord admired his faith, ordered that he descend from the tree and to go home together, after forgiving all the sins he had committed until that time. It is said that after the Ascension of the Lord, Zacchaeus followed the Apostle Peter, by whom he was later ordained Bishop of Caesarea.
