To rescue the souls of the faithful from the power of the enemy, especially at the hour of death. 3. To be the champion of God's people, the Jews in the Old Law, the Christians in the New Testament; therefore he was the patron of the Church, and of the orders of knights during the Middle Ages. 4.

Jude was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus. He is generally identified with Thaddeus. He is sometimes identified with Jude, "brother of Jesus", but is clearly distinguished from Judas Iscariot, another disciple, the betrayer of Jesus. 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. Feast Day: 28 October. Hand made in the U.S.A. Durable 100% wool.

Sepia-toned medals with Our Lady of Mt. Carmel on the front of one the Sacred Heart of Jesus on front of the other with brown wool on backs of both, hanging on a sturdy long brown leather rope with clasp. May serve as a legitimate substitution for the traditional brown scapular upon dispensation from a priest. Just as the stole is the special sign of the priest, the scapular is the sign of the monastic. The scapular is called the “garment of salvation” by which one consecrates himself to Jesus Christ through the Blessed Virgin Mary. In wearing the holy scapular, Christians are reminded they are "slaves" to Christ and to His righteousness and like Mary, "Handmaidens of the Lord". Made in Brazil.
