Saint Jude Thaddeus Orthodox Byzantine Icon Rock Slate Plaque

Saint Jude Thaddeus — also known as Judas the son of James, not to be confused with Judas Iscariot — was one of the twelve apostles chosen by Jesus and is venerated throughout the Christian world as the patron saint of desperate cases and lost causes. Though he appears only briefly in the Gospels, his legacy is immense. At the Last Supper, it was Jude who asked Jesus the poignant question: “Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?” — a question that drew from Christ a beautiful teaching on love and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Tradition holds that after Pentecost, Jude preached the Gospel in Judea, Samaria, Syria, Mesopotamia, and Persia, performing miracles and bringing many to faith before dying as a martyr. His short epistle in the New Testament is a passionate call to contend earnestly for the faith. For centuries, countless believers have turned to Saint Jude in their most desperate moments, trusting in his powerful intercession before God.

"Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people." — Jude 1:3
