But people ruled out and believed that he followed the words of Jesus during his ministry in Galilee. As time went by, Jesus chose Jude as one of his 12 Apostles. The saint of lost causes preached in Samaria and Jerusalem, and he is often referred to as Jude in the bible and served Jesus as his apostle. 

Like some of the other disciples of Jesus, Jude fled when Jesus was arrested and did not stand by Jesus during his crucifixion. However, even if they betrayed Jesus, they rejoiced when the risen Christ forgave them. After that, the whereabouts of St Jude is unknown, as well as his death.

Most of the time, The patron saint was involved in helping those with the lost cause or hopeless cases. However, many people didn’t say St Judes’ prayer to avoid accidentally calling the wrong Judas (Judas Iscariot).

Later on, he was martyred in Persia by being sawed in two and later buried by an unknown woman. His body was then brought back together miraculously. Today, the Eastern Orthodox church celebrates its feast on October 28th and embraces the powerful prayer to St Jude.
