  October 6, Apostle, Θωμάς

  St. Thomas, called the Twin, was one of the Twelve Apostles. Absent when the risen Christ first appeared to the disciples, he said he would not believe unless he touched the wounds of the Lord; eight days later Christ invited him to do so, and Thomas confessed Him as Lord and God — the clearest confession of the divinity of Christ in the Gospels.
