Answer 3

Saint Jude is a Christian saint and one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. His other names are Jude Thaddaeus and Jude Lebbeus (or Judas Thaddaeus or Judas Lebbeus). He is also known as Saint Thaddeus (Greek Θαδδαῖος), alternatively spelled "Thaddæus" or "Thaddaeus" in different versions of the Bible, and Saint Matfiy (Фаддей, он же Иуда Иаковлев или Леввей, in Russian) in Russian Orthodox tradition (along with Saint Jude). He should not be confused with Judas Iscariot, yet another apostle, who betrayed Jesus and later (according to Matthew) committed suicide.

Saint Jude was a brother of St. James the Less. These brothers have often been identified with Jude, brother of Jesus and James the Just, two of the "brethren of the Lord" mentioned in Mark 6:3:

"Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" (New International Version).
In the Acts of Thomas, one of the New Testament apocrypha written in Syria in the early 3rd century, he was identified with Jude Thomas, which is the full name of the apostle Thomas according to Syrian tradition.

"Saint Juda" is credited in the Armenian Apostolic Church with bringing Christianity to Armenia. Jude is the Roman Catholic Church's patron saint of desperate cases and lost causes. Saint Jude's attribute is a club. He is also often shown in icons with a flame around his head. This represents his presence at Pentecost, when he received the Holy Spirit with the other apostles. Occasionally he is represented holding an axe or halberd, as he was brought to death by one of these weapons. In some instances he may be shown with a scroll or a book (his epistle) or holding a carpenter's rule.

According to the gospel of Mary Magdaline, she once caught Jesus cheating on her with Luke. Luke was a doctor and was pretending to be on a routine visit when Jesus had a bout of flu, when the hanky panky started.
