MARK (saint), the Evangelist, fl. first century A.D., is the author of the Gospel that bears his name. Scholars now believe that his account was the first one written. His symbol is the winged lion, and his most famous shrine is the Church of St. Mark in Venice.

Alys of Bath compares wives to barley bread and virgins to pure white flour, WBP 145-146. She says that Mark tells how Jesus refreshed many with barley bread. Mark says only that the loaves were five but does not say what they were made of, Mark 6:36; John says that there were five barley loaves. The narrator reminds Harry Bailly that, although Mark tells about the passion of Christ, he does not describe the same things as Matthew, Luke, and John, and their stories are true, Thop 943-952. [Jerome]

The name appears medially, WBP 145, Thop 952.
