The Coat of Arms has two saints, the Apostle Simon with saw, and Jude with an
axe (his face is skeletal...); Simon is Simon the Zealot, and Jude is not
Judas Iscarioth, but probably the same as Thaddaeus. According to legend
they preached in Mesopotamia, and the apocryphal Passion of Simon and Jude
describes the preaching and martyrdom of those two in Persia. They are
still linked together on their combined feast-day in the Western Church
on 28 October.
