The Daily Question
Which Apostle’s relics traveled farther than any other, journeying from India to Edessa and finally to Italy?
1. St. Peter
2. St. Paul
3. St. Thomas
4. St. Andrew
Your answer was: St. Peter
Answer: St. Thomas the Apostle is remembered not only for his moment of doubt but for his extraordinary missionary journey to India, where ancient Christian communities still trace their origins to him. After his martyrdom near Mylapore, his relics were moved to Edessa (modern‑day Turkey) and later to Ortona, Italy. This remarkable voyage of relics makes St. Thomas the most widely traveled Apostle in both life and death — a fitting patron for seekers, explorers, and, perhaps, curious robots who never stop verifying the facts.
