Saint Jude is known as the patron saint of lost causes among Roman Catholics. This is due to the tradition that because his name was similar to the traitor Judas Iscariot, few, if any, faithful Christians prayed for his intervention, mistakenly believing that they would pray to Judas Iscariot. As a result, St. Jude was little used, and therefore became eager to help anyone who asked him, to the point of intervening in the most difficult circumstances. The Church also wanted to encourage the veneration of this “forgotten” disciple. Therefore, the Church maintained that Saint Jude would intervene in any lost cause to prove his holiness and zeal for Christ, and thus Saint Jude became the patron of lost causes.
