Thaddeus

Thaddeus was probably a nickname denoting devotion or endearment. The gospel writers of Luke and John identify him as Judas (not Iscariot). He is credited with having brought the gospel to Armenia by his preaching, establishing new churches, working of miracles, and appointing bishops and deacons. A small sailing ship symbolizes his missionary journeys to Syria, Arabia and Mesopotamia.
