St. Dismas is recognized as the patron saint of prisoners, thieves, funeral directors, and those seeking redemption. His Feast Day is observed on March 25.

Saint Dismas (also spelled Dimas, Dysmas, or Demas) is traditionally known as the “Good Thief” or “Penitent Thief” who was crucified alongside Jesus Christ on Golgotha. Jesus was crucified between two criminals (often called thieves or, in some interpretations, revolutionaries).
