Orthodox Byzantine Saint Jude Rock Slate Plaque Catholic Decor

Saint Jude Thaddaeus — one of the twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ — is one of the most widely venerated saints in both the Catholic and Orthodox Christian traditions. Often called the “Patron Saint of Hopeless Causes,” Saint Jude is the apostle to whom countless believers have turned in their darkest and most desperate moments, trusting in his powerful intercession before God. He is the author of the Epistle of Jude in the New Testament, in which he urges believers to contend earnestly for the faith and to keep themselves in the love of God. According to tradition, Saint Jude preached the Gospel in Judea, Samaria, Idumaea, Syria, Mesopotamia, and Persia, and ultimately gave his life as a martyr for his faith in Jesus Christ. His feast is celebrated on October 28th in the Western Church and June 19th in the Eastern Orthodox tradition.

"But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life." — Jude 1:20–21
