St. Jude's Arm

The Catholic Church announced that St. Jude's arm will be touring California at some point between September and May. Probably toward May, I think, because the arm will begin its tour on the East Coast. 

Saint Jude is one of the 12 apostles of Jesus. Today he sits in the presence of the Lord, face to face, according to Church doctrine.  

This will be the first journey the arm has made to America, but it has traveled extensively in Italy. 

JUDE THE OBSCURE by Thomas Hardy and the song "Hey, Jude" by the Beatles may reflect the lasting impact of the patron saint of lost causes. 

Note: Philomena Cunk recently claimed that the arm is so encrusted with gold and jewels that none of it is actually visible, and that no one cares about it anyway.
