Silver Saint Jude Tadeo Medal Necklace
The medal that San Judas Tadeo wears on his chest is an effigy of Jesus, known as the "image of Edessa". According to tradition, King Abgar V of Edessa, located in present-day Turkey, was very ill and, after hearing the miraculous healings that Christ performed, he sent for him to be healed by Him. Our medal is made of 925 Sterling Silver.
San Judas Tadeo is one of the most popular and beloved saints among Catholics due to the numerous "favors" that his devotees claim to have obtained through his intercession. San Judas Tadeo was one of the disciples of Jesus of Nazareth who were part of the group of twelve apostles. In some gospels he is called as the brother of Jesus. It is very common to see his name reflected simply as "Tadeo" or "Judas de Santiago". In all cases, there seems to be a tendency to accompany the name "Judas" with some specification, perhaps due to the concern of the writers of those texts to differentiate Judas Thaddeus from Judas Iscariot, the apostle who is said to have betrayed Jesus. .
The name "Judas" means in Hebrew "praises be given to God" and "Tadeo" which is a word that comes from Aramaic means "the brave". San Judas Tadeo was from the group of the twelve apostles of the most "Judaizing". He witnessed the last supper where he also had a lot of participation.
Religious symbols correspond to a traditional way of representing faith in some way, this is how, in addition to praying and asking fervently, people lean on statues or medals to raise a prayer with much more force. In the specific case of San Judas Tadeo we find a saint who has all kinds of means for people to come closer, including his novena, the crown and of course the medal.
People who choose to wear the Saint Jude Thaddeus medal seek above all constant protection, as this saint stands out for his loving attitude of support.
