The Catholic church in the Urfeld district of Wesseling is dedicated to the Holy Apostle THOMAS. He is one of the twelve whom Jesus called into the closest circle of his disciples, and is not often mentioned in the biblical writings of the New Testament. The most prominent passage is precisely the one after the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which has earned him the unflattering nickname "Doubting Thomas" in popular parlance. The Evangelist John reports on this in the 20th chapter of his version of the "Good News" (this is the translation of the word "Gospel").

This theme naturally also provided an opportunity for dissemination in religious art of many eras, for example in one of the most famous paintings by Caravaggio - if you are interested, see => de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_ungl%C3%A4ubige_Thomas_(Caravaggio)#/media/Datei:The_Incredulity_of_Saint_Thomas.jpg -

The memorial day of the Apostle Thomas in the calendar of saints is sometimes celebrated on July 3rd, sometimes on December 21st.
