I've been wondering, when talking about Apostolic Succession we generally agree that these "Sees" were founded by the Apostles themselves, whether it was by them being the first bishop or having them appoint the bishops themselves. However most of the time it is usually about Saint Peter (Petrine Sees) or the Pentarchy thus the sees founded by the other Apostles are usually either neglected or unheard of.
So this thread is started to discuss which sees the Apostles founded:
- Saint Simon Peter: Jerusalem, Antioch, Syracuse, and Rome
- Saint Andrew: Byzantium/Constantinople, Kiev (Ukraine and Russia), and Georgia
- Saint James Zebedee: Jerusalem
- Saint John: Ephesus
- Saint Philip: n/a
- Saint Bartholomew Nathanael: Seleucia-Ctesiphon and Etchmiadzin (Armenia)
- Saint Thomas Didymus: Seleucia-Ctesiphon and India
- Saint Matthew: n/a
- Saint James Alphaeus: n/a
- Saint Judas Thaddeus: Etchmiadzin (Armenia)
- Saint Simon Zealot: Georgia
- Saint Matthias (Replacement of Judas Iscariot):
Later Apostles:
- Saint Paul Tarsus: Athens, Philippi, Thessaloniki, Corinth, Rabat (Malta), Paphos, and Rome
- Saint Barnabas: Paphos and Milan
- Saint Timothy: n/a
- Saint Mark (proxy of Saint Peter): Aquileia and Alexandria
- Saint Philip Evangelist: Axum (Ethiopia)
- Saint Thaddeus Edessa: Seleucia-Ctesiphon
For the Apostles that have "n/a" on them, did they ever have sees founded by them that still exists today or are they now extinct? Or perhaps they never had the opportunity to find any due to martyrdom?
