St. Thomas, Apostle

St. Thomas, also known as Doubting Thomas, was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ. He was born in Galilee and is believed to have died as a martyr in India around 72 AD. Thomas is best known for his initial skepticism about Jesus' resurrection, but he later professed his faith, declaring Jesus as "My Lord and my God." He is venerated for his unwavering commitment to the faith and his role in spreading Christianity to India. St. Thomas is the patron saint of architects, builders, and theologians.
