Module G checkpoint
Bartholomew, Simon, Jude, and Matthias complete the Twelve. Their attributes are among the most memorable in the roster: flayed skin, saw, club or medallion, axe. This question tests whether graphic martyrdom iconography reads as catalog fact rather than shock.
Complete the roster
After this checkpoint, recite all four: Bartholomew (knife and skin), Simon (saw), Jude (medallion or club), Matthias (axe). You should reach twelve named apostles without gaps before Module H comparative drills.
Extend practice
After this checkpoint, mentally pair Simon saw with Jude medallion and Matthias axe in one recitation.
Graphic iconography as advantage
Bartholomew’s flayed skin is emotionally striking but iconographically precise—museums treat it as catalog fact. Train yourself to read knife and skin the same way you read Peter’s keys: immediate identification without hesitation.
