"St. Jude" "His Father" Clopas Murdered Devotion Christ, The month of October reminds us of the Celebration of the Feast Day of St. Jude Thaddeus (Patron of Difficult Cases) and this shall hold on Saturday 27th October, 2012 with an opening Mass at 12:00 noon, while the Novena closes proper on Sunday 28th October, 2012, with special prayer and blessings.Saint Jude is known as the patron of difficult cases and the patron saint of hospitals.
He was one of Jesus’ twelve original apostles, though little specific information is known about his life. His lineage is documented as a direct relative of Jesus, a cousin.
Saint Jude is actually a saint known by two names, Jude and / or Thaddeus. The name "Thaddeus" means sweetness and gentleness of character. He is not the traitor Judas Iscariot, and he faithfully followed Jesus until his crucifixion, and then later set out to evangelize.
October 28th is the Roman Catholic day of his feast. He is also venerated as a saint in the Anglican Church, Eastern Catholic Churches, Eastern Orthodox Church and the Coptic Christian Church. St. Jude was born in the northern region of Galilee which today is northern Israel. The town at the time was known as Paneas but the name was changed to Caesarea Philippi and today is named Banyas. His father was Clopas, brother of St. Joseph, and his mother Mary was a cousin of the Virgin Mary. This fact allows the conclusion that St. Jude was a contemporary of Jesus - a farmer by occupation and like most people in that time and that region probably bilingual, speaking Greek and Aramaic.
