Bartholomew in Wikipedia
            was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, and is usually 
identified with Nathanael,[1] mentioned only in the Gospel of 
John. Bartholomew (Greek: Βαρθολομαίος, transliterated 
"Bartholomaios") comes from the Aramaic bar-Tôlmay (תולמי-בר), 
meaning son of Tolmay (Ptolemy) or son of the furrows (perhaps 
a ploughman). Based on this meaning, many have assumed it was 
not a given name, but a family name.[2]
The festival of St Bartholomew is celebrated on August 24 in 
the western Church and on June 11 in the Eastern churches. The 
Armenian Apostolic Church honours Saint Bartholomew, along 
with Jude the Apostle (a.k.a. Thaddeus), as its patron saint. 
The Coptic Church remembers him on January 1. The festival in 
August has been a traditional occasion for markets and fairs, 
such as the Bartholomew Fair held in Smithfield, London since 
the Middle Ages that served as the scene for Ben Jonson's 
homonymous comedy (1614)...
