San Judas Tadeo was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. He descended from the royal line of David and was therefore a blood relative of Jesus Christ. Indeed, the father of Saint Jude, called Cleofás, was the brother of Saint Joseph, husband of the Blessed Virgin. His mother, called María de Cleofás, was a cousin of the Blessed Virgin.
