Saint Thomas the Apostle in Stained Glass

Saint Thomas the Apostle is celebrated in stained glass.

Saint Thomas the Apostle’ Feast Day is July 3
Saint Thomas the Apostle, one of the twelve disciples of Jesus, is traditionally known as “Doubting Thomas” because of his reservations when he heard that Jesus had risen from the grave after crucifixion. He refused to believe until he saw and felt the nail wounds in Jesus’ hands and the place where the lance had entered the Savior’s side. Those who are devoted to this Apostle, however, also remember that when Jesus traveled back to Judea to visit the dying Lazarus and his sisters, a place where he had nearly been stoned, it is Thomas who suggested the disciples accompany Him, and if He was killed, that they would die with Him.

A dedicated missionary who traveled as far from the Roman Empire as India after being commissioned by Jesus to go and preach the gospel to all the world, Thomas became an important part of Christianity in India. Some converts who heard Thomas’ message became what is known to this day as Saint Thomas Christians. Known as the patron saint of India, Saint Thomas is celebrated by Roman Catholics on his feast day, July 3. In 72 A.D. Thomas was martyred for his Christian beliefs by local Persian soldiers.
