Apostle Philip (of the Seventy): Commemorated Oct. 11 (Church in the East) / June 6 (Church in the West)

From the title it is uncertain whether this is Philip Apostle (of the Twelve) or Philip Apostle (of the Seventy)  Because of the angel addressing him and because of the little birds at his feet (possibly his 4 daughters), I think it is Apostle Philip (of the Seventy)

These images are brought together to extend their original purpose:
the meditation of our soul on the love of God.
They may be useful for persons documenting Christian art and culture, but they may also inspire persons to share them with others as cards, bookmarks, in book illustration, or in digital presentations in classes or in a retreat setting. Permission to use these Christian images is freely granted to those who use them in ways that are respectful of the faith that inspired them. Please drop me an email to let me know the ways you use them.
