TWELVE SAINTS

UNDER CONSTRUCTION


[Critical]

  • [pleas be aware no one deserves to have the same value of 12 saints who were crucified exactly like Jesus Christ to save the originality of Holy Bible]
  • [Saint is a very significant word in history, please don't misuse it. Actual idea of saint means who were with Jesus Christ as his commune/council. 12 saints will go to heaven with Jesus Christ as promised by GOD. This idea cannot be challenged by any notional hypothesis that came afterward in the history.]
  • Merry the mother of Jesus Christ has more value than the saints in the history. Her rewards from GOD have value more than going to heaven with her SON in same place.
  • [It is GOD's desire to save the originality of Bible or messages through last messenger to repeat the history of Bible or Bible, the idea does not establish any change in belief system established in actual Christianity established by GOD in holy Bible.]
  • ["THERE IS ONLY ONE STORY OF THIS WORLD"]
  • Here is a copy of the "HOLY QURAN" which may help you to clean up the mess created by human works. As I have affirmed in other pages of this site, The "HOLY BIBLE" was written on animal skins those were carried by the Saint Peter at the time of crucification of  The Prophet Jesus. Gopals of various people or with name of 12 saints were published after establishment of the "HOLY QURAN" where some human works were disfiguring  GOD MADE LAW to various directions on temptations and sinfulness. 


Dispersion: 
1.1 The Apostles of Jesus dispersed from Jerusalem after the Ascension of Jesus.
1.2 After his resurrection, Jesus sent 11 of them (except Judas Iscariot, who by then had died) by the Great Commission to spread his teachings to all nations. This event is commonly called the Dispersion of the Apostles.
1.3 There is also an Eastern Christian tradition derived from the Gospel of Luke of there having been as many as 70 apostles during the time of Jesus' ministry. Prominent figures in early Christianity, notably Paul, were often called apostles, even though their ministry or mission came after the life of Jesus.
1.4 The period of early Christianity during the lifetimes of the apostles is called the Apostolic Age.[1] During the 1st century AD, the apostles established churches throughout the territories of the Roman Empire and, according to tradition, through the Middle EastAfricaIndia, and modern-day Ukraine.

Gospel & Acts
Simon  ("who is called Peter")
Pontus, Galatia, Bithynia, Cappadocia, and Asia to the Jews of the dispersion.

And at last, having come to Rome under Emperor Nero Augustus Caesar, he was crucified head-downwards; for he had requested that he might suffer in this way.

[Between AD 64 and 68]

[Manuscripts: 8th or 9th century]
The Acts of Peter is one of the earliest of the apocryphal Acts of the Apostles. The majority of the text has survived only in the Latin translation of the Vercelli manuscript, under the title Actus Petri cum Simone. It is mainly notable for a description of a miracle contest between Saint Peter and Simon Magus, and as the first record of the tradition that St. Peter was crucified head-down.
The Acts of Peter was originally composed in Greek during the second half of the 2nd century, probably in Asia Minor.[1] Consensus among academics points to its being based on the Acts of John, and traditionally both works were said to be written by Leucius Charinus, whom Epiphanius identifies as the companion of John.
The Gospel of Peter (Greek: κατά Πέτρον ευαγγέλιον, kata Petrōn euangelion), or Gospel according to Peter, is one of the non-canonical gospels rejected as apocryphal by the Church Fathers and the Catholic Church's synods of Carthage and Rome, whichestablished the New Testament canon.[1] It was the first of the non-canonical gospels to be rediscovered, preserved in the dry sands of Egypt.
A major focus of the surviving fragment of the Gospel of Peter is the passion narrative, which is notable for ascribing responsibility for the crucifixion of Jesus to Herod Antipas rather than to Pontius Pilate.


Andrew ("his [Peter's] elder brother")
Scythia, Saint Andrew is the Patriarch of Constantinople.
Preached along the Black Sea and the Dnieper river as far as Kiev, and from there he traveled to Novgorod.
Hence, he became a patron saint ofUkraineRomania and Russia, he founded the See of Byzantium (laterConstantinople and Istanbul) in AD 38, installing Stachys as bishop.
According to Hippolytus of Rome, Andrew preached in Thrace, and his presence in Byzantium is also mentioned in the apocryphal Acts of AndrewBasil of Seleucia also knew of Apostle Andrew's missions in Thrace, Scythia and Achaea.[9] This diocese would later develop into the Patriarchate of Constantinople.
Andrew is said to have been martyred by crucifixion at the city of Patras (Patræ) in Achaea. Early texts, such as the Acts of Andrew known to Gregory of Tours,[11] describe Andrew as bound, not nailed, to a Latin cross of the kind on which Jesus is said to have been crucified; yet a tradition developed that Andrew had been crucified on a cross of the form called crux decussata (X-shaped cross, or "saltire"), now commonly known as a "Saint Andrew's Cross


The surviving version is alluded to in a 3rd-century work, the Coptic Manichaean Psalter, providing a terminus ante quem, according to its editors,  M.R. James (1924)[1] and Jean-Marc Prieur in The Anchor Bible Dictionary (vol. 1, p. 246), but it shows several signs of a mid-2nd-century origin.
Prieur stated that "The distinctive christology of the text", its silence concerning Jesus as a genuinely historical figure, and its lack of mention of church organisation, liturgy, and ecclesiastical rites, lead one to "militate for an early dating". By the 4th century, the Acta Andreae were relegated to the New Testament apocrypha.
Prieur also stated that its "serene tone" and innocence of any polemic or disputes concerning its ideas or awareness of heterodoxy, particularly in the area of christology, show that "it derived from a period when the christology of the Great Church had not yet taken firm shape".

James ("son ofZebedee")
 Patron saint of Spain, Saint James (Santiago) had traveled to the Iberian Peninsula during his life and was buried there.
The Chapel of St. James the Great, located to the left of the sanctuary, is the traditional place where he was martyred when King Agrippas ordered him to be beheaded (Acts 12:1-2). His head is buried under the altar, marked by a piece of red marble and surrounded by six votive lamps.[13]



John 
("his [James's] brother") AD 6-100
According to Tertullian (in The Prescription of Heretics) John was banished (presumably to Patmos) after being plunged into boiling oil in Rome and suffering nothing from it. It is said that all in the audience of Colosseum were converted to Christianity upon witnessing this miracle. This event would have occurred in the late 1st century, during the reign of the Emperor Domitian, who was known for his persecution of Christians.
John probably knew and undoubtedly approved of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, but these gospels spoke of Jesus primarily in the year following the imprisonment and death of John the Baptist.[5] 
Around 600, however, Sophronius of Jerusalemnoted that "two epistles bearing his name ... are considered by some to be the work of a certain John the Elder" and, while stating that Revelation was written by John of Patmos, it was "later translated by Justin Martyr and Irenaeus",[6] presumably in an attempt to reconcile tradition with the obvious differences in Greek style


Church tradition holds that John is the author of the Gospel of John and four other books of the New Testament — the three Epistles of John and the Book of Revelation.
In the Gospel, authorship is internally credited to the "disciple whom Jesus loved" ( μαθητς ν γάπα  ησος, o mathētēs on ēgapa o Iēsous) in John 20:2John 21:24 claims that the Gospel of John is based on the written testimony of the "Beloved Disciple".
The authorship of some Johannine literature has been debated since about the year 200.[2][3]Some[by whom?] doubt that the "Gospel of John" was written by an individual named "John" (ωάννης or יוחנן). Nevertheless, the notion of "John the Evangelist" exists, and is usually thought of as the same as the Apostle John.
Philip( from the city of Bethsaida)
Philip was sent with his sister Mariamne andBartholomew to preach in GreecePhrygia, and Syria.
Philip and Bartholomew were then crucified upside-down, and Philip preached from his cross. As a result of Philip's preaching the crowd released Bartholomew from his cross, but Philip insisted that they not release him, and Philip died on the cross. Another legend is that he was martyred by beheading in the city of Hierapolis.


Later stories about Saint Philip's life can be found in the anonymous Acts of Philip, probably written by a contemporary of Eusebius.
The Greek Acts of Philip (Acta Philippi) is an unorthodox episodic apocryphal mid-to late fourth-century[1] narrative, originally in fifteen separate acta,[2] that gives an accounting of the miraculous acts performed by the Apostle Philip, with overtones of the heroic romance.
