Thomas the Apostle, also known as Didymus, was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus as mentioned in the New Testament. He is famously known as “Doubting Thomas” due to his initial skepticism about the resurrection of Jesus. Thomas spread the Gospel beyond the Roman Empire, journeying to places such as Mylapore in South India and Muziris in Kerala. He is revered as the patron saint of India and is commemorated on July 3 by Indian Christians. Historical accounts credit Thomas as the first evangelist to establish churches in the Middle East and southern Asia.
