He is the second witness of Christ who presents us with the liturgy at this time of Christmas (the first was Saint Stephen, the "protomartyr, the first witness of the God-Child born in Bethlehem).
John-with James and Peter-accompanied Jesus at important moments in his life: in the transfiguration of the Tabor, in Gethsemane when the agony, at the foot of the cross, etc.
