Best Answer

St. Jude was one of the 12 apostles. He was the son of Cleophas, who died a martyr, and Mary who stood at the foot of the Cross with the Blessed Virgin, and who anointed Christ's body after death. He is the brother of Saint James the Lesser and a nephew of Mary and Joseph which made him a blood relative of Jesus Christ, and he was reported to have looked a lot like him. Before he joined the apostles he was probably a fisherman. He was beaten to death in Persia and later beheaded.
