Jude, also known as Judas Thaddaeus, was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus. He is generally identified with Thaddeus, and is also variously called Jude of James, Jude Thaddaeus, Judas Thaddaeus or Lebbaeus. He is sometimes identified with Jude, the brother of Jesus, but is clearly distinguished from Judas Iscariot, the apostle who betrayed Jesus prior to his crucifixion. Judas Thaddaeus became known as Jude after early translators of the New Testament from Greek into English sought to distinguish him from Judas Iscariot and subsequently abbreviated his forename. Most versions of the New Testament in languages other than English and French refer to Judas and Jude by the same name.

Kostel sv. Petra a Pavla a sochy u kostela
Od roku 1779 stojí pred kostelem dve sochy na žulových podstavcích. Podstavce jsou vysoké 180 cm a sochy samotné jsou vysoké 185 cm. Jedna ze soch predstavuje Jana Nepomuckého a druhá Judu Tadeáše. S jejich osazením zde byly vsazeny ve stejném období obe lípy. Ty jsou dnes památkove chráneny. V roce 2008 byly obe sochy nove restaurovány.
