Simon Thassi

Simon Thassi, also known as Simon the Zealot, was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ in the Christian tradition. He is often described as a Zealot, which suggests he was part of a Jewish political movement that sought to resist Roman rule in Judea. Simon is typically mentioned in the New Testament, but little is known about his life or teachings. Christian tradition often associates him with missionary work after Jesus' resurrection, and he is sometimes credited with spreading Christianity in various regions, including Persia. His feast day is celebrated on different dates in various Christian traditions.
