One of the twelve apostles, Thomas is best known for doubting the resurrection until he personally saw and touched Jesus' wounds. His honest skepticism and subsequent confession — 'My Lord and my God!' (John 20:28) — became one of the strongest declarations of Christ's deity in the New Testament. Early church tradition records that Thomas carried the gospel as far as India, where the Mar Thoma Christians trace their origins to his ministry.
