Saint Dismas
The Penitent Thief, also known as the Good Thief, Wise Thief, Grateful Thief, or Thief on the Cross, is one of two unnamed thieves in Luke's account of the crucifixion of Jesus in the New Testament.

The Roman Martyrology places his commemoration on 25 March, together with the Feast of the Annunciation, because of the ancient Christian tradition that Christ (and the penitent thief) were crucified and died exactly on the anniversary of Christ's Incarnation (Christianity), incarnation. He is given the name Dismas in the Gospel of Nicodemus and is traditionally known in Catholicism as Saint DismasLawrence Cunningham, ''A brief history of saints'' (2005), page 32.
