BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — People in and around Baton Rouge have the chance to see the relic of St. Jude the Apostle this March.
St. Jude was one of the 12 original apostles of Jesus Christ and he is known “as the patron of hope and impossible causes,” according to the Diocese of Baton Rouge. The relic is the arm of St. Jude Thaddeus.
Religious leaders describe relics as “physical objects that have a direct association with the saints or with Our Lord.”
