St. Jude Thaddeus is revered by the faithful as the patron of hopeless causes.
The most memorable thing said by Saint George was, "No, I will not." when told to renounce his Christianity or be executed.
Jude is thought to have been a farmer so was probably neither rich nor poor. He was most likely lower middle class.
Probably the most memorable thing that Princess Diana did was add elegance to the royal family. The family had been quite frumpy. She was beautiful.
St. Jude is most commonly known as the patron saint of lost causes. His medal is worn to give guidance and comfort when all seems lost and life is at its darkest hour. It is usually given to patients of terminal illnesses or family members during difficult times.
The fantastic culture and the friendly people.
The boat, the symbol most often associated with St. Jude, may also allude to Jude's earlier life, or to Jude's voyages in his part in the mission of founding the early church. A ship is also a well-known symbol of the Christian Church; this is often reflected in obvious ways in church architecture.
Probably the fact that he killed his brother.
Usually saints' feast day are on the day that they died. St. Jude most likely died on October 23rd.
St. Peter, Jude's fellow Apostle, was the first Pope. Pope Linus succeeded St. Peter, & then Anacletus. I do not know when St. Jude died, but most likely within the lives of the first 3. At the very least, the first one(Peter).
There are a few. St. Jude Thaddeus is the most popular, but there are also Saint Rita of Cascia, St Francis Xavier Cabrini to name a couple.
It's got to be watching the balloons from the suspension bridge in August - truly memorable!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/beimages/3155048479/
Saint Jude (one of the 12 Apostles) is known as the Patron Saint of hopeless causes.Hopeless CausesSaint Jude is the Patron Saint of Hopeless, desperate or lost causes. St Jude (or Judas) was once of the 12 apostles and was present at the last supper, but should not be confused with Judas Iscariot, the betrayer of Jesus. Saint Jude is the brother of Saint James. Saint Jude preached the Gospel in Judea, Samaris, Idumaea, Syria, Mesopotamia, and Lybia. Saint Jude was the one who asked Jesus at the Last Supper why He would not manifest Himself to the world after the resurrection. Little else is known about his life, accept that he was possible martyred with Saint Simon in Persia.He is the author of an epistle (letter) written to the churches in the east, particularly the Jewish converts. It is because of this New Testament letter that his help is asked for in desperate situations. The letter stresses that the faithful should persevere in the face of adversity, trials, and difficult times. He has therefore become the Patron Saint of hopeless causes.Saint Jude's feast day is celebrated on 28th October.St. Jude
