Treasures of the Church stated in a press statement on Monday that the tour “offers a unique opportunity for devotees and the curious alike to experience a connection with one of the most venerated figures in Christian history.”

According to Martins, who is revered as the patron saint of hopeless cases and precarious circumstances, “the visit offers people a chance to have a personal encounter with someone who lives in heaven and sees God up close. It enables followers to seek his blessing and give him their requests.

The journey, according to Martins, is taking place in “the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic,” giving the faithful a special chance for healing at a time when suffering is still present.

Martins noted that many people are still grieving the loss of a loved one who died from the virus, many people are dealing with the long-term effects of COVID and other pandemic-related medical conditions, long-term isolation has contributed to depression for many people and a decline in mental health, there is a general mistrust of public policy and media reporting, and many people are struggling financially as a result of closed businesses and inflation.

The Catholic Church is attempting to offer consolation and hope to everyone who needs it through the apostle’s visit.

Jude, one of Christ’s Twelve Apostles, is referred to as “the Lord’s first cousin,” according to Treasures of the Church. Jude is thought to have been murdered in Beirut some decades after Christ’s death and resurrection.
