Saint Jude Thaddeus
Saint Jude Thaddeus is well known for the many miracles he has granted for the faithful who pray to him for assistance. He is the patron saint of desperate cases and lost causes, so many times people pray to him for intercession as a last resort.
The name Jude is from the Hebrew language, meaning “praises to God.” He is not to be confused with Judas Iscariot, another disciple who betrayed Jesus.
Saint Jude was martyred in Persia (present-day Iran) in the year 65 AD, along with Saint Simon. His remains rest in Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome.
