St Jude Candle Green, 1 Each (Pack of 12)

St Jude Green Wax Candle, 8.25 inch -- 12 per case. This is the colored wax version of our Saint Jude candle. Jude was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus. He is generally identified with Thaddeus, and is also variously called Jude of James, Jude Thaddaeus, Judas Thaddaeus orLebbaeus. He is sometimes identified with Jude, brother of Jesus , but is clearly distinguished from Judas Iscariot, another apostle who betrayed Jesus prior to his crucifixion. 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. 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. Another common attribute is Jude holding an image of Jesus Christ, in the image of Edessa. In some instances, he may be shown with a scroll or a book (the Epistle of Jude) or holding a carpenter's rule.
