If I had any opportunity to travel, I’d spend the Holy Week is the Holy place, Israel...I don’t think Jesus was ever in Rome...

Read my post, #16. It explains why Peter ended up in Rome.

In the end the Apostles scattered as they were made totally unwelcome in Jewish Israel. Doublting Thomas went as far east as India. When the Portuguese landed in India there they were amazed to find so many men named THOMAS. They weren't prepared, I guess, for finding ANY Christianity that far east from Israel.

A 1st century tomb in China, a wealthy man, had a SMALL stone carving of the nativity scene in his elaborate tomb.

The Apostles were instructed by Jesus to go forth and teach all nations. They sure did their jobdidn't they? Rhetoical.
