The story of Jude
Jude the Apostle, also known as Thaddaeus, was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ and is considered a saint by the Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant churches. He is not to be confused with Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus. The exact identity of Jude the Apostle is not known, but he is believed to have been a Galilean fisherman. According to the New Testament, Jude was a brother of James, another of the twelve apostles. Some traditions hold that he preached the gospel in Mesopotamia, modern-day Iraq, and was eventually martyred there. He is the patron saint of difficult cases and desperate situations.
