Saint Jude Thaddeus, also known as Jude of James or Lebbaeus (1st century AD), was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, traditionally identified as the author of the Epistle of Jude in the New Testament, and venerated as the patron of hopeless causes for his intercession in desperate situations.[1] According to the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew 10:3; Mark 3:18), Jude (or Thaddeus to avoid confusion with Judas Iscariot) was called from Galilee, possibly a relative of Jesus (Mark 6:3), and listed among the Twelve; Acts 1:13 confirms his post-Resurrection presence, though no further ministry details are scriptural.[2] Patristic traditions from Eusebius and Jerome identify him as the "brother of James" (Jude 1:1), preaching in Mesopotamia, Armenia, and Persia with Simon the Zealot, martyred c. AD 65–72 by axe or club; the Epistle, warning against false teachers, is attributed to him with probabilistic dating AD 65–80.[3]
