Book Quiz Catholic Ultimate The From:

St. Jude, known as Thaddaeus, was a brother of St. James the Less, and a relative of Our Savior. He was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus and his attribute is a club. Images of St. Jude often include a flame around his head, which represents his presence at Pentecost, when he accepted the Holy Spirit alongside the other apostles. Sometimes he can also be seen holding a carpenter's ruler or is depicted with a scroll or book
the Epistle of Jude.  Biblical scholars agree St. Jude was a son of Cleopas (Cleophas) and his mother was the Virgin Mary's cousin. Ancient writers tell us that he preached the Gospel in Judea, Samaria, Idumaea, Syria, Mesopotamia, and Lybia. According to Eusebius, he returned to Jerusalem in the year 62, and assisted at the election of his brother, St. Simeon, as Bishop of Jerusalem. Little else is known of his life.  

 He is an author of an epistle (letter) to the Churches of the East, particularly the Jewish converts, directed against the heresies of the Simonians, Nicolaites, and Gnostics. Jude and Bartholomew are believed to have brought Christianity to
Armenia, where Jude was rumored to have later been martyred. There is some debate about where Jude died, though most Biblical scholars agree he was martyred. He is believed to have died either in Armenia or Beirut. Legend claims that he visited Beirut and Edessa and could have been martyred with St. Simon in Persia. (Sometimes his image is shown with an ax, believed to be the method of his death.) 
Following his death, St. Jude's body was brought to Rome and left in a crypt in St. Peter's Basilica. Today his bones are

The Flying Nun; ‘g6 The Flying under the main altar in a tomb he shares with the remains of the apostle Simon the Zealot (rumored to possibly be his
brother).  Pilgrims pray at St. Jude's grave and many reported a powerful intercession, leading to the title, "The Saint for the Hopeless and the Despaired." St. Bridget of Sweden and St. Bernard had visions from God asking them to accept St. Jude as "The Patron Saint of the Impossible." 
When the apostles are listed in Matthew 10:3 and Mark 3:18, Jude's name does not appear but "Thaddeus" does. This occurrence led early Christians to believe Jude was known as both "Jude" and "Thaddeus," the latter of which could have been a sort of nickname. (Not to be confused with Thaddeus of Edessa, one of the 72 Disciples.)
