The Penitent Thief, also known as the Good Thief or the Thief on the Cross, is one of two unnamed persons mentioned in a version of the Crucifixion of Jesus in the New Testament. The Gospel of Luke describes one asking Jesus to "remember him" when Jesus will have "come into" his kingdom. The other, as the impenitent thief, challenges Jesus to save himself to prove that he is the Messiah.

He is officially venerated in the Catholic Church. The Roman Martyrology places his commemoration on March 25, together with the Feast of the Annunciation, because of the ancient Christian tradition[2] that Christ (and the penitent thief) were crucified and died exactly on the anniversary of Christ's Incarnation.

He is given the name Dismas in the Gospel of Nicodemus and is traditionally known in Catholicism as "Saint Dismas" [1] (sometimes Dysmas; in Spanish and Portuguese, Dimas). Other traditions have bestowed other names:

In Coptic Orthodox tradition and the Narrative of Joseph of Arimathea, he is named Demas.[3][4]

In the Codex Colbertinus, he is named Zoatham.[citation needed]

In Russian Orthodox tradition, he is named Rakh.[5]
