Dismas is the name given to the "good thief" who was crucified at the side of Jesus Christ. Christ promised Dismas passage to paradise based on his faith.[1]
Dismas is the patron saint for those condemned to death.
A relic held at the Church of Santa Croce in Rome is by tradition a portion of the cross on which Dismas was crucified.
