Do you know how the apostles died ?

Peter evangelized Rome.

He died crucified upside down at his request because he felt unworthy to die like Christ

James son of Alpheus was the head of the Church in Jerusalem.

He was thrown from the southeastern promontory of the Temple, 30 meters high, he survived and was beaten to death with sticks by his enemies.

Satan had led Jesus to this same promontory to tempt him.

Andrew died crucified after having evangelized around the Black Sea.

Witnesses say that André said when he saw the cross :

"I have longed for and anticipated this hour for a long time. The cross was consecrated by the body of Christ hanged on the cross."

He continued to preach to his torturers for 2 days before he died.

James son of Zebedee evangelized Spain.

He is the first apostle to die a martyr, beheaded in Jerusalem.

Philip evangelized Asia Minor.

He died stoned and crucified upside down in Phrygia.

Bartholomew evangelized Arabia and Mesopotamia,

He was flogged, flayed alive, crucified and then beheaded.

Thomas evangelized India and formed a first Christian community to which members of the royal family belonged,

He died there, pierced by a spear.

Matthew evangelized Ethiopia,

He is dead, killed by the sword.

Jude Thaddeus evangelized Persia, Mesopotamia and other Arab countries

He would have suffered martyrdom in Persia.

Simon the Zealot evangelized Persia, Egypt and the Berbers,

It was cut with a saw.

John is the only one to have died of old age.

Yet he experienced martyrdom by immersion in a boiling oil bath in Rome,

Sentenced to mines in Patmos, where he wrote the Apocalypse

He died of old age in present-day Turkey.

All responded to Jesus' call to "go everywhere."

“You will be hated by all because of my name ; but he who endures to the end will be saved."
