Thomas Apostle

Thomas Didymus, also known as Doubting Thomas, was a Galilean who preached in Iran, Afghanistan, and India. While Matthew, Mark, and Luke only mention his name, John provides a more detailed account of Thomas' interactions with Jesus. Thomas doubted Jesus' resurrection until he saw the nail prints in His hands and the gash of the spear in His side. However, his doubts were transformed into faith when he saw Jesus and made the greatest confession of faith by calling Him "My Lord and my God." Thomas was a courageous man of devotion and faith who was commissioned to build a palace for the king of India before his death. He was speared to death in India, and is buried in Myalapore, India. His symbol is a group of spears, stones, and arrows. Click here to learn more!
