Peter :
Was crucified on a X-shaped cross. He told his tormentors that he felt unworthy to die the same way as Jesus Christ. So he was crucified upside down!
James :
James, the head of church in Jerusalem, was thrown down a hundred feet from the south-east pinnacle of the temple when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. When they discovered that he survived the fall, the enemies beat James to death with a Fuller's club!
John :
Was thrown into a boiling pot of oil. But he remained unharmed. So he was sent to the mines of Patmos.
He was the only disciple to escape violent death!
Thomas :
Was killed with spearhead. He was attacked in his hide-out at 'Little Mount'. From there he crawled bleeding and dying towards what is now called as 'St. Thomas Mount', with his enemies at his back. And there he was stabbed, where he died hugging a cross that he had engraved before!
Would our faith stand as long as theirs?
