Thomas The Apostle
Thomas the Apostle (; , meaning 'the Twin'), also known as Didymus ( 'twin'), was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus according to the New Testament. Thomas is commonly known as "doubting Thomas" because he initially doubted the resurrection of Jesus Christ, resurrection of Jesus when he was told of it (as is related in the Gospel of John); he later confessed his faith ("John 20:28, The lord of me and the God of me") on seeing the places where the Five Holy Wounds, wounds appeared still fresh on the holy body of Jesus after the Crucifixion of Jesus. According to traditional accounts of the Saint Thomas Christians of Tamilakam (modern-day states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala) in India, Thomas travelled outside the Roman Empire to preach the Gospel, traveling as far as the modern states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala in South India, and eventually reached Muziris (modern-day North Paravur and Kodungalloor in Kerala State) in 52.

Saint Thomas (Brandenburg Colony)
The Brandenburg colony of St. Thomas consisted of a leased part of the Danish island of St. Thomas (today part of the United States Virgin Islands) to the Brandenburg-Prussia margraviate of the Holy Roman Empire from 1685 to 1754. History In the 17th century, the Margraviate of Brandenburg had several African colonies, including Brandenburger Gold Coast (''Groß Friedrichsburg'') and Arguin, which were involved in the slave trade. In order to support this business, Brandenburg needed a base in the Caribbean. For this reason, the Brandenburg Navy-General Director Benjamin Raule signed a rental agreement with the Danish West India Company on November 24, 1685. The agreement included a portion of the Danish Antilles island of St. Thomas, which had belonged to Denmark-Norway since 1666. The ownership of the island would belong to the Danish-Norwegian King, but Brandenburg was granted the right to use the land. In 1693 the Brandenburg section of Saint Thomas was seized by the ...

Saint Thomas, U
In Christian belief, a saint is a person who is recognized as having an exceptional degree of holiness, likeness, or closeness to God. However, the use of the term ''saint'' depends on the context and denomination. In Anglican, Oriental Orthodox, and Lutheran doctrine, all of their faithful deceased in Heaven are considered to be saints, but a selected few are considered worthy of greater honor or emulation. Official ecclesiastical recognition, and veneration, is conferred on some denominational saints through the process of canonization in the Catholic Church or glorification in the Eastern Orthodox Church after their approval. In many Protestant denominations, and following from Pauline usage, ''saint'' refers broadly to any holy Christian, without special recognition or selection. While the English word ''saint'' (deriving from the Latin ) originated in Christianity, historians of religion tend to use the appellation "in a more general way to refer to the state of special ...
