Church celebrates Sts. Simon and Jude on October 28

First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

The Church celebrates the feast of the apostles Saint Simon and Saint Jude Thaddeus on October 28.

Tradition holds that the two apostles preached the Gospel together and were martyred together. According to various historical accounts, Saint Simon was killed by being sawn in half, while Saint Jude Thaddeus was executed by an axe blow.

Saint Jude Thaddeus is often referred to as the patron of difficult or hopeless cases. He is credited with writing a letter in the New Testament that warns against false teachers and moral corruption. In the Gospel of John, he is noted for asking Jesus how the Lord would manifest himself to the disciples rather than to the world.

Saint Simon is identified in the Gospels as the Cananean. Some traditions suggest he was a relative of Jesus. Because of his martyrdom, he is sometimes depicted with a saw and is considered a patron saint of woodcutters.
