He is called "brother god", because he was Joseph's son from his marriage that preceded his betrothal to the Virgin Mary. His memory is honored by the Christian church on 23 October and the Sunday after Christ's birth. Those with the name Iakovos celebrate this day.
Iakovos did not follow Christ during his public life. After the Resurrection, when the Lord appeared before him, he believed and assumed responsible activities in the first Church. He was the first bishop of Jerusalem and took part in the Apostolic Council of Jerusalem (49 AD). He always remained closely connected with the Judeo-Christian communities and was surrounded with special honor by the Jews. Joseph gives him the title of "Righteous" and mentions that Iakovos was martyred by stoning in 62 AD.
