How was St Peter crucified?

2000 years of Catholic tradition state that Peter was crucified upside down in Rome under orders of Roman Emperor Nero. He did not feel he was worthy to die in the same manner as Jesus so requested that the soldiers crucify him head down. Even most non-Catholic theologians agree that Peter was crucified in Rome about AD 64 but the evidence that he was crucified upside down is weak and is based on tradition passed down by the early Church fathers.

Why was St. Andrew crucified?

Andrew was crucified for preaching the Gospel in Greece.AnswerHistorically we know nothing about Saint Andrew, where he travelled and where or how he died. However various Christian traditions, mainly from the third century and later, have him travelling to Achaia Bithynia, Byzantium, Cappadocia, Galatia, Georgia, Macedonia, Romania, Scythia, Ukraine. In other words, anywhere that pious Christians might have wanted to be associated with a true disciple from the distant past. In some of these locations, he would have met the apostle Paul, who wrote about Peter a number of times but never mentioned Andrew. Therefore, Andrew probably never travelled where Paul went, and even the legend of his crucifixion is very much in doubt. The legend is that he felt unworthy to be crucified like Jesus and so asked to be crucified on an X-shaped cross, but this story is too suspiciously similar to the legend of Peter's crucifixion to be plausible. We do not know whether Andrew was crucified, but the various traditions all say that he was crucified for preaching Christianity to pagans.
