St. Jude

Feast Day: Eastern Calendar - 06/19 Roman Rite Calendar - 10/28 Tridentine Calendar - 10/28 Patron Of: Desperation, Hopeless Cases, Impossible Situations Profile     Son of Cleophas, who died a martyr, and Mary who stood at the foot of the Cross, and who anointed Christ's body after death. Brother of Saint James the Lesser. Nephew of Mary and Joseph; blood relative of Jesus Christ, and reported to look a lot like him. May have been a fisherman. Apostle.     Writer of canonical letter. Preached in Syria, Mesopotamia, and Persia with Saint Simon. Healer. Exorcist. Could exorcise pagan idols, which caused the demons to flee and the statues to crumble.     His patronage of lost or impossible causes traditionally derives from confusion by many early Christians between Jude and Judas; not understanding the difference between the names, they never prayed for Jude's help, and devotion to him became something of a lost cause. Died     beaten to death with a club, then beheaded post-mortem in 1st century Persia; relics at Saint Peter's, Rome, at Rheims, and at Toulouse, France Name Meaning     sweetness or gentleness of character (Thaddeus) All information used with permission of the Patron Saint Index.
