NB.. Please read the following article with due discretion. Obviously it is not written by an Armenian from an Armenian perspective. Seems like the author is a Catholic Philippine, hence the Catholic perspective.
Who will write a scientific (not mythological) biography of the Saints Thaddeus and Bartholomew from an Armenia angle? We know that they were killed in Armenia.

Except in satire by the likes of Baronian? It is the Hellenized (Greek) of Bartholomew/Bartholomei, (ending ineos).
Although the latter name is all but extinct the former is still used.

Saint Bartholomew the Apostle skinned alive for spreading his faith
Written by Corazon Damo-Santiago

HE was flayed alive--the skin of his body cut into strips, then pulled
off, leaving his body open and bleeding for a long time, then beheaded, wrote Fr. Paolo O. Pirlo, SHML, in My First Book of Saints.
Why? Because he was to die the Persian way in the "most barbarous country of the East" in the ancient times; because he converted
Polymius, the king of Armenia, to Christianity; because Astyages, the
king's brother, ordered his death; because spreading the Catholic
faith is a great crime, noted John Francis Fenion in Saint Bartholomew, Volume 2 of Catholic Encyclopedia.

Then he was beheadead and crucified.
Bartholomew: True Israelite
BARTHOLOMEW is derived from Aramaic Bar Tolmay, which means "son of
Tolmay," also known as Nathanael. He was born in the 1st century in Cana, Judea.
One day his friend Philip from Bethsaida told Nathanael, "We have found the one whom Moses wrote about in the Book of the Law and whom
the prophets also wrote about. He is Jesus, son of Joseph from Nazareth" (John 1:45).
Bartholomew, characterized as frank and skeptic, was attracted by Philip's enthusiasm remarked: "Can anything good come from Nazareth?"
(John 1:46).
Nevertheless, he went with Philip when he insisted that Bartholomew
come and see Jesus.
Seeing him, Jesus announced that Bartholomew is a true Israelite incapable of deceit, that made him ask, "How do you know me?"
Jesus' answer that he was under a fig tree before Philip called him convinced Bartholomew that Jesus, indeed, is the Son of God and King of Israel. Batholomew witnessed Jesus' Ascencion to heaven.
To spread the word of God, the apostles were assigned to different countries. Reputed to have introduced Christianity to Armenia (Turkey) with Saint Jude Thaddeus, both are patron saints of Armenian Apostolic church. Saints and Angels by Catholic On-Line states that he also preached in Persia, Egypt and Mesopotamia (modern Iraq), which "cradled the most ancient civilization of human history." A monastery named after the saint was built on the site of his martyrdom.
Invoked by various skilled workers
HIS body was washed in the waters, and a large part of the skins and the bones were deposited in Lipari, Sicily. Many miracles had been attributed to him in the place.
Foremost of which was when his silver statue was melted on the orders of fascist officials who raised funds to finance World War II.
When the melted silver was weighed, it registered only a few grams so the silver was returned to Lipari. In reality, however, it weighed many kilograms.
On his feast day, the saint's gold-and-silver statue was carried through town. While men were carrying it downhill, the statue suddenly became so heavy that they decided to put it down to rest.
When they continued the journey the statue became heavier, so the men stopped to gain their momentum. On the third time they rested with the statue, the walls collapsed downhill. Had they carried the image, many would have been killed.
The miracles seemingly involved weight, so he was made the saint of tanners. However, he was also invoked by people to be the saint of
butlers, salt merchants, leather industries, shoemakers, bookbinders,
Florentine cheesemakers, and people suffering from neurological diseases. Saint Bartholomew's relics had been deposited in churches named to honor him: his arm in Canterbury, England; skull in
Frankfurt, Germany; and body in Lipari.
In 983 some skin and bones were brought to Tiber Church of Saint
Bartholomew in Rome.
The Coptic church commemorates his martyrdom on the first day of the Coptic calendar, August 29. Eastern Christianity honors him on June 11, and the Roman Catholic Church on August 24.
Santiago is a former regional director of the Department of Education-National Capital Region. She is currently a faculty member
of Mater Redemptoris College, Laguna.
