Early English Gothic Church by John Honeyman 1871. Its impressive steeple is a much photographed landmark of Perth. The building in Tay Street that became St Matthews was designed by John Honeyman and built between 1869 and 1871. It is Victorian Gothic in style, and a Session room was added in 1872. A Mission Hall was built in 1880 and a further large hall was added in 1896, when the re-decorated church was opened. John Honeyman was born at 21 Carlton Place, Glasgow on 11 August 1831, the third son of John Honeyman JP of the corn factors John Honeyman & Company, and his wife Isabella. According to the Gospels, Saint Matthew was a 1st century Galilean, presumably born in Galilee, which was not part of Judea or the Roman Judaea province, the son of Alphaeus. As a tax collector, he would probably have been literate and could write highly educated Greek. His fellow Jews would have despised him for what was seen as collaborating with the Roman occupation force. After his call, Saint Matthew invited Jesus for a feast. On seeing this, the Scribes and the Pharisees criticized Jesus for eating with tax collectors and sinners. This prompted Jesus to answer, "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. " Matthew is recognized as a saint in the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran and Anglican churches. His feast day is celebrated on 21 September in the West and 16 November in the East. Those churches which follow the traditional Julian calendar would keep the day on 29 November of the modern Gregorian calendar, being 16 November in the Julian calendar. His tomb is located in the crypt of Salerno Cathedral in southern Italy. Matthew is remembered in the Church of England with a Festival on 21 September. The River Tay, Scottish Gaelic: Tatha, is the longest river in Scotland and the seventh longest in the United Kingdom. The Tay originates in western Scotland on the slopes of Ben Lui mountain, Scottish Gaelic: Beinn Laoigh, then flows easterly across the Highlands, through Loch Dochart, Loch Iubhair and Loch Tay, then continues east through Strathtay, in the centre of Scotland, then south east through Perth, where it becomes tidal, to its mouth at the Firth of Tay, south of Dundee in Tayside.
