## Bio

Luke's account of the crucifixion places two thieves on either side of Jesus. One mocked him, demanding proof of divinity through escape. The other rebuked his companion, acknowledged his own guilt, and made a single request: that Jesus remember him when he came into his kingdom. The exchange earned him veneration across Eastern Orthodox, Catholic, and Oriental Orthodox traditions. The Roman Martyrology commemorates him on 25 March alongside the Annunciation, holding to the tradition that Christ's death and incarnation fell on the same calendar date. He remains the only figure promised salvation directly from the cross.
