Saint Simon and Saint Jude Stained Glass
St. Simon and St. Jude Honored in Stained Glass
Saints Simon and Jude are the eleventh and twelfth disciples of Jesus, who continued after the crucifixion to do His work, as missionaries traveling together to bring the gospel to Mesopotamia and Persia, and were eventually martyred there. Saint Simon, or Simon the Zealot and St. Jude, also known as Thaddeus, are beloved among Catholics who celebrate their feast day on October 28. Stained glass artists in the studios of Stained Glass Inc. have created a number of breathtaking stained glass designs honoring these two beloved saints, portraying them with flawless imagery and breathtaking color.
In stained glass art, Saint Simon is often depicted holding a saw, which is the instrument used in his martyrdom, while Saint Jude is shown with a carpenter’s square, since he was called “the architect of the house of God” by Saint Paul.
Saint Simon is the patron saint of curriers, sawmen, sawyers and tanners. He is beloved by tradesmen and craftsmen everywhere, and was known as Simon the Zealot, part of a group of Jews who considered God to be their one and only ruler. Saint Jude, as St. Joseph’s nephew, was an earthly cousin to Jesus and is the patron of desperate causes and situations. Catholics who are devoted to Saint Jude request his intercession for situations and life issues regarded as hopeless cases. The stained glass panels honoring their extraordinary lives are created using age-old stained glass craftsmanship coupled with cutting edge technology that results in rich, vibrant color which is enduring and beautiful.
