Jude; Matthew 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:16; Acts 1:13

Sometimes called Levi or Thaddaeus (some English translations call him ‘Judas’), St. Jude was the brother of [[Apostle James the Just|St. James]] and son of [[Joseph the Betrothed|St. Joseph]] Betrothed to the [[Theotokos]]. He protested along with Simon and Hosea when the elderly Joseph wanted to leave a portion of his estate to Jesus upon his death. He was often called ‘brother of James’ out of humility and shame for he did not believe in Christ at first, yet St. James did.
