Thomas the Apostle
Thomas Apostolus
Saint Thomas the Apostle, also called “Doubting Thomas,” is best known for initially refusing to believe in Christ’s Resurrection until he could see and touch the wounds. When Jesus appeared to him, Thomas proclaimed “My Lord and my God!” — one of the clearest declarations of Christ’s divinity in the Gospels. Tradition holds he preached the Gospel in India.
