We read from Hegesippus who lived less than a 100 years after the
death of James that "He alone was permitted to enter into the holy
place, for he wore not woolen but linen garments. And he was in the
habit of entering alone into the temple, and was frequently found upon
his knees begging forgiveness for the people, so that his knees became
hard like those of a camel, in consequence of his constantly bending
them in his worship of God, and asking forgiveness for the people."

Let us give you the idea that James "succeeded to the leadership of the
church upon Jesus' death". Do you suppose that means he became high priest in
Jerusalem? You seem to be implying that James himself was the high priest. I
just want to be clear if this is what you are saying or not.
Thanks
