How did the Apostle Peter die?
As with all the disciples of Jesus, we do not really know how Peter died. Clement of Rome, writing around 95 CE (1 Clement), spoke in general terms about the life and death of Peter but appears to have been unaware of how Peter actually died.During the second century, Pope Anicetus, wishing to demonstrate that he spoke with the authority of Peter, reported that Peter had been beheaded in Rome. Then, a century later, Origen changed this to say that Peter was sentenced to crucifixion but, feeling unworthy of being crucified like Jesus, asked to be crucified upside down. This is pious midrash and we can not really say that Peter was either beheaded or crucified. He might well have died a normal death in his old age.

Who sent Saint Andrew to his death?
A:St Andrew the apostle was crucified in the city of Azrinos. Or Archaia, or in the city of Patrae. Or somewhere else, on the orders of various local officials. It is suggested that the legend that, just like his brother Peter, Andrew refused to be crucified like Jesus and was therefore crucified on a 'St Andrews' cross dates only from the fourteenth century. In fact, we know nothing about the death of Andrew: where he died, whether he died of old age or was executed and on whose orders.
