How did Saint Matthias die?

Answer 1

A:According to the Acts of the Apostles, Matthias was the apostle chosen by the remaining eleven apostles to replace Judas Iscariot. The Catholic Encyclopedia concedes that information concerning the life and death of Matthias is vague and contradictory, which is consistent with our total lack of information about the deaths of all the apostles. One Christian tradition has it that Matthias died at Sebastopolis and was buried there, while another maintains that he was stoned to death at Jerusalem by the Jews and then beheaded. Neither tradition has any historical value.

It is claimed that the remains of Matthias were brought to the abbey of St. Matthias in Trier, Germany, through Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine, and are interred there. On the other hand, Greek sources say the remains of the apostle are buried in the castle of Gonio-Apsaros, Georgia.

Catholic Answer:

According to Catholic Tradition, Matthias was stoned to death at Colchis in 80 and some relics are in the abatical church of Trier, Germany, others in Saint Mary Major in Rome, Italy.
