Description: (One of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus according to the New Testament)
Jude, known as Thaddeus, was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus. He is revered in the Armenian Apostolic Church and the Catholic Church as the patron saint of desperate cases and lost causes. Often depicted with symbols like a club and a flame, he is associated with Pentecost. In artistic representations, Jude is shown holding the Image of Edessa, a scroll or book (the Epistle of Jude), or a carpenter's rule, highlighting his connection to Jesus and the early Christian community.
