San Judas Tadeo, Saint Jude Thaddeus, is the patron of difficult or desperate causes. On the 28th of every month, devotees gather at the church of San Hipólito in Mexico City.
On October 28, 2018, his annual feast day, La Razón reported that the veneration took place largely outside the church, as on every 28th of the month. A security operation of 495 police officers was in place. (Video in Spanish.)
One devotee, Francisco Arias, told the newspaper that he had come to San Hipólito every month for more than 31 years.
