Saint Thomas
Saint Thomas refers to one of Jesus Christ's twelve apostles, traditionally recognized as Thomas the Apostle. He is often associated with doubt, as he initially doubted Jesus' resurrection until he saw Christ's wounds. This has led to the term "doubting Thomas" to describe someone who is skeptical. In Christian tradition, he is considered the patron saint of architects and builders, as he traveled to spread the Gospel, particularly in India, where he is believed to have established a Christian community. His feast day is celebrated on July 3 in the Western Church and December 21 in the Eastern Church.
