James the Less (Ancient Greek: Ἰάκωβος ὁ μικρός Iakōbos ho mikros) is a figure of early Christianity. He is also called "the Minor", "the Little", "the Lesser", or "the Younger", according to translation; James is styled "the Less" to distinguish him from the Apostle James the Great (also called "James the Elder"), with "Less" meaning younger or shorter rather than less important.
James the Less has traditionally been commemorated along with St. Philip in the Western Christian calendars. In the Roman Catholic Church their feast day was observed on 1 May until 1955, when it was moved to 11 May to accommodate the Feast of St Joseph the Worker on 1 May. A later revision of the calendar moved the feast to 3 May. In many other churches (for example, the Church of England) the feast has never moved from 1 May.
