Tommy was named after Saint Thomas best known as the disciple who was ready to die with Jesus when Christ went to Jerusalem. Also known as “doubting Thomas”, as he doubted the other Apostles account of the Resurrection. It was eight days later on Christs second rising that he was allowed to convince himself by touching the wounds. Thomas the Disciple later went to preach in Parthia and India where, in 72AD, he was stabbed to death with a spear. His feast day is the 3rd of July. He is the Patron Saint of architects, builders, stonemasons and the blind. He is also Patron against doubt. An old tradition says that Thomas baptised the wise men from the Nativity into Christianity. It has been said that on occasion Tommy has doubted that Jane is the boss in his house. To date she has not stabbed him with any sharp objects to the point of leaving discernible injuries.
The story of Saint Thomas is also important in Abruzzo. He is sometimes quoted as having said, “Se non vede….non crede.” Or, seeing is believing.
