According to the letters of the Apostle Paul, Luke was a Greek physician. He is shown to have accompanied the Apostle Paul as a collaborator and follower on the third and fourth missionary journeys. Later, when Paul was arrested for the second time and stayed in Rome, only Luke was with him. From the fact that Luke's Gospel was written in Greek and is adorned with skillful and beautiful expressions, it can be seen that he was highly educated. In particular, Luke highlighted the kindness of Christ, and his stories about the good Samaritan, Zacchaeus, and the prodigal son, who were discriminated against, are unique, and he wrote in detail about the childhood of Christ and conveyed the role of the Virgin Mary in detail. After the death of Paul, it is not certain about Luke's activities, but it is said that he preached mainly in Greece and was martyred there. From the stories of the childhood of Jesus and the figure of the Virgin Mary vividly depicted in the "Gospel of Luke," the tradition of Luke as a painter was formed. Because he painted the Virgin Mary and Jesus, Luke is the patron saint of doctors and painters. Also, because he symbolizes the "ox," an ox is placed in Luke's iconography, and sometimes only the ox is depicted.
