Thomas doubted the Resurrection until he touched Christ’s wounds, and made the great confession: “My Lord and my God!” He is credited with carrying the Gospel to India, where the ancient St. Thomas Christians trace their origins to his preaching.
Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:28)
