Simon the Zealot

Simon the Zealot, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, is known for his passionate commitment to the Jewish law and his dedication to the movement of Jesus. Little is known about his life after the resurrection of Christ, but he is often associated with missionary activity in various regions, including Britain and Egypt, spreading the teachings of Jesus. Simon's title 'the Zealot' suggests he was part of a group that fervently opposed Roman rule, and he is honored as a saint in several Christian traditions.
