Subject Matter
Depicted SubjectHis scroll reads "Carnis resurrectionem," the resurrection of the body, the tenth article in the medieval scheme that paired each of the twelve apostles with one clause of the Apostles' Creed, a legend traced to medieval sermon literature rather than to scripture itself and used across English devotional art of the period as a teaching device. 1 Physical Form

The museum's own title reads St Jude directly, matching Jude Thaddaeus and distinct from Judas Iscariot. The oar this panel carries is not the club the corroborating Wikipedia record names as his most common attribute, but the panel sits in the same twelve panel Zamora series directly beside the companion St Simon panel, matching the shared 28 October feast day pairing the same record independently confirms.
