Apostle Apostles Missionary Parthia Didymus
EDITORS COMMENTS
Thomas the Apostle, also known as Thomas Didymus or Doubting Thomas, is depicted in this historical print as a determined and resolute missionary. Once a disciple of Jesus, Thomas is best known for expressing doubt about the resurrection of his master, famously exclaiming "Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will not believe." (John 20:25). However, after encountering the risen Christ and experiencing his resurrected body, Thomas became a fervent believer and spread the word of the Gospel far and wide. Tradition holds that Thomas traveled as a missionary to the eastern regions of the Roman Empire, including Parthia and India. In this print, Thomas is shown in the garb of a missionary, carrying a cross and a book, as he journeys through a lush and exotic landscape. The serene expression on his face and the peaceful surroundings suggest a deep sense of inner peace and contentment, despite the challenges and hardships of his journey. Despite the controversy surrounding his initial doubt, Thomas is revered as a saint in the Christian faith, and his legacy as a missionary continues to inspire and challenge us to question our own beliefs and to share the message of hope and redemption with others. This print serves as a poignant reminder of Thomas's transformative journey from doubt to faith, and his enduring impact on the history of Christianity.
