Saint of the day: Saint Thomas, an apostle of Christ also known as Didymus, will forever be stuck with the title 'Doubting Thomas'. He earned this moniker when he refused to believe in the Resurrection of Christ unless he got to touch Christ's wounds, when most people would've accepted a doctor's certificate.
