Ordinary, unknown, but remembered

October 28, 2021 By Elizabeth Bentrup Leave a Comment

Saint Simon and Saint. Jude *sound* familiar, but beyond associating the latter with St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, most of us can’t tell you much about either.

Celebrating Saint Simon, Saint Jude, and Zealots who Change the World

October 28, 2019 By Melody Wilson Shobe Leave a Comment

Saint Simon and Saint Jude are an odd couple; they are a strange pair of saints to observe together. They are not brothers, as some linked saints are. They are not martyrs who died on the same day. They are not saints whose names are linked together again and again in scripture. Instead, it seems that the only reason that they are observed together is that they are the two disciples about whom we know the least.

October 28, 2017 By Dorian Del Priore 2 Comments

The disciples would be seen as misfits in tension with the established social norms and hierarchies. Sounds pretty punk rock to me.
