Jude

Holy Apostle Jude is commemorated in the Greek calendar on 26 May (new style) as one of the Seventy Apostles, together with the apostles Carpus and Alphaeus.

The calendar does not give his identity: it does not say which of the Judes named in the New Testament is meant, and the sources consulted give no further details of his mission. Of his companions in the commemoration it is known that Saint Carpus was a disciple of Saint Paul (2 Timothy 4:13) and a bishop in Thrace, while of Saint Alphaeus the synaxarion says that his identity cannot be settled with certainty. For Jude, only his place in the company of the Seventy remains.
