He is the author of the "Epistle of Jude" in the New Testament, and there are various theories such as being the brother of James the Less, and being related to Jesus Christ, but the truth is unknown. Note that he is a different person from Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus. (⟵This is important!) In the West, Jude Thaddeus was intentionally disregarded to avoid confusion with Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus and committed suicide, and was even called the "Forgotten Saint". The reason was that Western believers avoided praying in the name of Jude. In the West, Jude Thaddeus is the patron saint of the defeated. On the other hand, Thaddeus is said to have preached in Armenia with Bartholomew, and is deeply revered in this region. Thaddeus preached while traveling from Judea, Samaria, Idumaea, Syria, Mesopotamia to Libya, and it is said that he was martyred with Simon by an axe in Persia. Therefore, paintings and sculptures depicting Thaddeus often have an axe. He is also often depicted with a halo, which indicates that Thaddeus received the Holy Spirit in the descent of the Holy Spirit along with the other apostles.
