Tommie Trelawny Video Explores the Fates of Jesus' Twelve Disciples
A recent video by Tommie Trelawny, the creator from Hochelaga, explores the destinies of Jesus Christ's twelve disciples after the Biblical era. It reveals that Peter was executed in Rome under Emperor Nero following the fire in 64 AD. Judas Iscariot, known for his betrayal, ended his life in Akeldama, referred to as the 'field of blood,' and Dante places him in Hell's ninth circle. The video highlights Thomas, dubbed 'doubting Thomas,' who journeyed along Roman spice routes to establish the Saint Thomas Christians church in Kerala, India. Andrew ventured to Scythia and Greece, faced crucifixion, and his relics were dispersed, with the St. Andrews' Cross influencing Scotland's flag design. Trelawny humorously contemplates a mnemonic rhyme for the disciples' fates, including John, Bartholomew, and Simon the Zealot, many of whom met violent ends through martyrdom. The video is available on Open Culture.
