How did saint jude become famous for?
St. Jude Thaddeus is invoked in desperate situations because his New Testament letter stresses that the faithful should persevere in the environment of harsh, difficult circumstances, just as their forefathers had done before them. Therefore, he is the patron saint of desperate cases. (The epithet is also commonly rendered as “patron saint of lost causes”.) However, there is another reckoning to this epithet. Many Christians have mistakenly reckoned him as Judas Iscariot and thus avoided veneration. Therefore he was also called the “Forgotten Saint.” Because veneration was avoided, only people in the most desperate circumstances would call upon him.
