Spiritual & cultural context

Symbol of human fallibility and the importance of staying true to one's faith.

The name Id is most notably associated with Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus' twelve apostles who infamously betrayed Him. At the Last Supper, Judas agreed to betray Jesus to the religious authorities for thirty pieces of silver. Although there is no clear biblical reference to Judas having this name before the betrayal, a later tradition in Western Christianity adopted the name 'Judas Iscariot' due to its association with betrayal and deceit.
