12: Simon and Jude

 12: Simon and Jude by ric gustafson

St Simon and St Jude died together. St Simon was called Simon the Zealot. Simon came from Cana. We do not know much about Simon. It is only mentioned that he is one of the 12. It is mentioned that he spent time in North Africa. It is possible that Simon spent time in Britain. From there, it is possible he went back east to Iran. 

St Jude was called Jude Thaddaeus. Jude asked Jesus a question in John 14:22. Jude asked why Jesus would reveal himself to them and not to the world?. Jude was present at the Last Supper.

Both men were killed at the same time. Jude was killed by a sword. Simon was sawn into pieces.
