My Fiance Is Catholic And From Mexico. I Am Not Catholic Though I Have Been Attending Mass Regularly With Him And Taking My Children Also. Next Week I Will Begin Rcia (is That Right) Classes. My Fiance And His Family Believe Very Strongly In St. Judas, He Wears A St. Judas Medalion Almost Always. I Guess I'm Just Asking What The Significance Of This Is Since St Judas Was The One Who Denied Jesus. Is Seems Ironic To Me That They Would Believe So Stongly In This Particular Saint. Thanks For Any Replys.

It's Judas bar-Jacob, or Jude, also known as Thaddeus.

I can guarantee you will not find a Catholic medal anywhere of Judas Iscariot.

Jude is the patron saint of desperate situations and lost causes. I always used to wear his medal in college during algebra exams.

Not to throw this thread off track, but isn't Judas Iscariot a saint in the EO church?

No, neither Orthodox or Coptic Christians hold Judas Iscariot as a saint. The Copts view Pontius Pilate as a saint, but that is because some apocryphal writings refer to Pilate as having converted later in life.
