Among the Eastern Orthodox faithful, Saint Addai is the person who was sent by Saint Thomas the Apostle to Edessa in order to to heal King Abgar, who had fallen ill. Addai stayed to evangelize, and converted Abgar—or Agbar, or in one Latin version "Acbar"— and his people including Saint Aggai and Saint Mari.
Addai is also known as Addeus— or Thaddeus which is a doublet for Judas Thomas.
Addai appears in unorthodox material as well, in two previously unknown Apocalypses attributed to James the Just found at Nag Hammadi in 1945 (Eisenman 1997).
