How did St. Judas Thaddeus die?
St. Jude Thaddeus is traditionally believed to have died as a martyr, possibly by being clubbed to death or by being crucified. His death is not conclusively documented in historical records.
Why was Jude crucified?
There are various traditions as to how Jude died, although there is no scriptural or historical evidence for any of them. One Christian tradition tells us that Jude was clubbed into insensibility and after that his head was shattered with a broad axe. Another version tell us that the Apostle was crucified on a cross and pierced with arrows. Because of these beliefs, St. Jude's pictures and statues depict him holding a club, an arrow and an axe. To further confuse the legends surreounding Jude, he was either martyred in Beirut, Lebanon, or in Armenia or Persia. In other words, no one knows how, where or why St Jude died. There is no good reason to believe that he was martyred, by crucifixion otherwise.
