NEVER SEEN THIS ALL IN ONE PLACE BEFORE!

1		Matthew Suffered martyrdom in Ethiopia , killed by a sword wound
2		Mark Died in Alexandria , Egypt , after being dragged by horses through the streets until he was dead .
3		Luke Was hanged in Greece as a result of his tremendous preaching to the lost.
4		John Faced martyrdom when he was boiled in huge basin of boiling oil during a wave of persecution in Rome . However, he was miraculously delivered from death. John was then sentenced to the mines on the prison island of Patmos . He wrote his prophetic Book of Revelation on Patmos . The apostle John was later freed and returned to serve as Bishop of Edessa in modern Turkey . He died as an old man, the only apostle to die peacefully.
5		Peter He was crucified upside down on an x-shaped cross. According to church tradition it was because he told his tormentors that he felt unworthy to die in the same way that Jesus Christ had died.

6		James Just The leader of the church in Jerusalem , was thrown over a hundred feet down from the southeast pinnacle of the Temple when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. When they discovered that he survived the fall, his enemies beat James to death with a fuller's club. * This was the same pinnacle where Satan had taken Jesus during the Temptation.
7		James the Great Son of Zebedee, was a fisherman by trade when Jesus called him to a lifetime of ministry. As a strong leader of the church, James was ultimately beheaded at Jerusalem . The Roman officer who guarded James watched amazed as James defended his faith at his trial. Later, the officer walked beside James to the place of execution. Overcome by conviction, he declared his new faith to the judge and knelt beside James to accept beheading as a Christian
8		Bartholomew Also known as Nathaniel Was a missionary to Asia . He witnessed for our Lord in present day Turkey . Bartholomew was martyred for his preaching in Armenia where he was flayed to death by a whip.
9		Andrew Was crucified on an x-shaped cross in Patras , Greece . After being whipped severely by seven soldiers they tied his body to the cross with cords to prolong his agony. His followers reported that, when he was led toward the cross, Andrew saluted it in these words: 'I have long desired and expected this happy hour. The cross has been consecrated by the body of Christ hanging on it.' He continued to preach to his tormentors for two days until he expired.
10		Thomas Was stabbed with a spear in India during one of his missionary trips to establish the church in the sub-continent

11		Jude Was killed with arrows when he refused to deny his faith in Christ.
12		Matthias The apostle chosen to replace the traitor Judas Iscariot, was stoned and then beheaded.

13		Paul Was tortured and then beheaded by the evil Emperor Nero at Rome in A.D. 67. Paul endured a lengthy imprisonment , which allowed him to write his many epistles to the churches he had formed throughout the Roman Empire . These letters, which taught many of the foundational doctrines of Christianity, form a large portion of the New Testament.

Perhaps this is a reminder to us that our sufferings here

are

indeed minor compared

to the intense persecution and cold cruelty faced by the apostles

during their times for the sake of the Faith. And ye shall be hated

of all men for my name's sake:

But he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

The formatting/image(s) didn't come through for me.

I can't vouch for any of these, but hopefully someone finds some value in them.

I had always read that St. Jude was beaten with clubs (as his iconography invariably shows) and then beheaded.

In addition, not all on the list in the OP were actual "Apostles" ... e.g., the Evangelists St. Luke and St. Mark.

So, the one list has Judas on it, with his manner of death, but then doesn't list the location of his remains. I wonder if anyone knows where the mortal remains of Judas are, whether they were just scattered in nature or kept (perhaps by some Satanic forces).

Wasn't Judas buried in the potter's field that the Sanhedrin bought with the Blood money of Christ?
I guess I just assumed it was so.

Yes, just wondering if the exact location of his remains is known. I couldn't find anything. I wonder if the Templars might have found his remains and used it for occult purposes, associated with Baphomet or something. I think they are associated with using some skull for occult purposes (similar to the skull and bones types of more recent times). I was looking around a bit, and it does appear that the graves/tombs of Annas/Caiaphas may have been adjacent to the Potter's field. They found the ossuary of Caiaphas and an extraordinarily ornate tomb they believe was his and that of Annas. Interestingly, it's completely dilapidated, filthy, having been looted many times. Evidently over the centuries bedouins would use it to camp in, and some people visiting it recently (on a video) found it being used as a stable for animals, and filled with filth and garbage ... and the tombs are hard to find and in a deserted area near Jerusalem. So they were forgotten, rotting in oblivion, known only for their role in murdering Our Lord, while there are myriad beautiful churches (visited every year by great numbers) dedicated to the One Whom they murdered.

Who are the Templars? Is this the same thing as the Knights Templars? How did they go from Catholic to Occultist?

Yes, there's been a lot of controversy about the Templars, whether they were Catholic or were occultists (i.e. whether the latter accusations were made from ulterior motives, or were legitimate). Too much to write about here, but you can look it up.

Thank you, Lad and Simeon.

As far as the templars go, from most of the research I've done on it is that they were originally good and Catholic but were infiltrated shortly (by guess who) after and then became occultic and was a catalyst and backdrop for Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ. That's the very short version of it though. It's possible they were occultic from the start according to some sources. I think it's even possible (not likely though) they were never occultic and they were just smeared by people with agendas but that's the minority opinion but who really knows.
