St. Jude is often depicted holding a coin as a symbol of his role as the patron saint of lost causes and desperate situations. The coin represents hope and faith in times of distress, reminding believers that even in their darkest moments, assistance can come from unexpected places. This imagery is also linked to the story of St. Jude’s mission to spread the message of Jesus, emphasizing the importance of perseverance and trust in divine intervention.
St. Jude is often depicted with a flame above his head because of his role as an apostle who received the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The flame represents the presence of the Holy Spirit and symbolizes his faith and his preaching of the Gospel.
