Although many fanciful traditions about the deaths of the apostles grew up over the centuries, we do not really know how any of them died. One tradition is that the apostle Thomas was stabbed to death while preaching in India, but another tradition is that he went to Parthia, not India. We do not really know how Thomas died.
