How did Saint Thomas the Apostle react to the crucifixion?

I believe scripture says that Thomas, along with some of the other disciples, went back to fishing after Jesus' death. Thomas is most noted for his reaction to the resurrection of Christ. When Jesus first appeared to His disciples after His resurrection, Thomas was not there. Upon being told of the story, Thomas declared that he would not believe unless he could put his hand in the wounds in Jesus' hands and side. Jesus reappeared to His disciples and this time Thomas was there. Jesus told Thomas to go ahead and touch His hands and His side, and to believe. When Thomas saw Christ he bowed down to worship Him as Lord and God. What a great story. Even more, Jesus declared that those of us who believe without seeing are truly blessed.

The meeting of Jesus and Thomas was rather uneventful, and there is no information about it other than that Thomas became one of the disciples. The really interesting encounter was after the resurrection, when Jesus appeard to the disciples and Thomas wasn't there at the time. The disciples told Thomas about the meeting, but Thomas refused to believe them. "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails," he declared, "and place my finger in the mark of the nails, and place my hand in his side, I will not believe." Eight days later, Thomas was with the others when Jesus appeared again. Jesus presented himself to Thomas and answered the conditions for Thomas to believe.

Why did doubting thomas get his name?

Doubting Thomas is so called because unlike the other apostles, he refused to believe Jesus had risen from the dead without solid proof in front of him own eyes. He could not have faith with out proof. Jesus appeared to some of the disciples, but Thomas was not with them. When the other disciples told him what had happened he rebuked them and said " Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it." (John 20:25) Eight days later Jesus appeared to the disciples again and this time Thomas was with them. He stood among them and said "Peace be with you" and then turning to Thomas he said, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Doubt no longer but believe" (John 20:26-29). Thomas then said that because he has seen he could believe. Jesus said to him "You believe because you can see me. Happy are those who have not seen and yet believe". This is where the name Doubting Thomas comes from.
