Maps of the Apostles
An anonymous CAS visitor sought maps of the Apostles. Presumably, what our Christian brother, or sister, was seeking was a map showing the areas that the Twelve evangelized. While there are dozens of maps depicting the voyages of Paul, maps depicting the travels of the Twelve are rare and difficult to locate.
One of the better maps is found on the site of the Calvin College Electronic Library (CCEL), a good source for patristic literture and commentary. CCEL's Fate of the Apostles includes a small gray scale map showing traditional locations where the Apostles preached and died. The map is shaded to indicate the boundaries of the Twelve's evangelization efforts. Small crosses indicate the approximate final resting place of each Apostle.
CCEL also offers a second map of the Apostles, showing locations where the original Apostles preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to various ancient traditions. Similar to the first map of the Apostles, this shaded map does not include crosses depicting the place of death of each apostle.
