Jude (apostle)

See also: Judas

Jude , (Luc 6.16: Ἰούδαν Ἰακώβου, Judes of Jacques) is one of the twelve Apôtre S of Jesus-Christ, generally identified with Thaddée (Matthieu 10.3: Θαδδαῖος).

Indicated in the form derived Addaï in the syriaque version from the Acts of Thaddée. It is quoted in some manuscripts of which the codex Bezae under the name of Lebbée of Hebrew libbay , " courageux" , become Tadday . The name Thaddée is reported to the araméen tadday , " with the mamelle". Saint Jerome said of him that it was trinomius , to three names.

It would not be to confuse with Jude, brother of Jesus. Indeed, the Épître of Jude is probably not him, since the author does not present himself like belonging to the Apôtres to verse 1 and is distinguished from them with the verse 17 (cf TOB: Introduction to the epistle of saint Jude ).

After the descent of the Holy Spirit, it went to preach the Gospel in the Idumée, the Syria and the Mésopotamie. He suffered martyrdom, in Perse or Arménie, about the year 80.

According to the tradition it is at the origin with Barthélemy of the Armenian apostolic Église.

Worship

He is recognized as being the saint of the hope, since it was a good being. It is the owner of the causes despaired for the catholics, like Sainte Rita de Cascia. He is patron saint of the lost causes, that which continues when nothing any more retains, separately the hope and the faith of going at the end of these hopes… He is honoured the October 28th.

Iconography of Jude Saint

Jude Thaddée is traditionally represented carrying the image of Jesus to the hand or close to his chest.

Attribute: the bludgeon. Often placed at the sides of Simon with whom it preaches in Syria and Mésopotamie, it carries the bludgeon with which it was completed at the time of his martyrdom in Perse.
