Thaddeus

Thaddeus son of Alpheus (also known as Jacob or Judah Levi) was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus [other apostles: Andrew brother of the Apostle Peter (the fisherman from Bethsaida, a disciple of John the Baptist), Peter (or Simon son of John, also called Cephas), John the Evangelist, James son of Zebedee, Philip of Bethsaida, Bartholomew aka Nathaniel, Matthew the tax collector (also Levi Alpheus), Thomas, James the son, Simon the Zealot (also Simon the Zealot) and Judas Iscariot (who betrayed Jesus)]. He is generally identified with Thaddeus, and is also variously called Jude of James, Jude Thaddaeus, Judas Thaddaeus or Lebbaeus. He is sometimes identified with Jude, "brother of Jesus", but is clearly distinguished from Judas Iscariot, another disciple and later the betrayer of Jesus.
The Armenian Apostolic Church honors Thaddeus along with Saint Bartholomew as its patron Saints. In the Roman Catholic Church he is the patron Saint of desperate cases and lost causes.
