A:

Nothing is really known about where Matthew preached or where he died. In the early years of Christianity, each important city or region claimed that one or another of the apostles had visited that city or region and preached there, thus lending prestige to the community. This sometimes results in a particular apostle being found in quite different regions at the same time, often even dying in different regions. The most common tradition for Matthew is that he did travel to Ethiopia and was burnt, stoned or beheaded there.
