Saint Peter

A fisherman, like his brother Andreas, Peter lived at Capernaum and was married. He was present at the wedding at Cana and followed Jesus along with His other disciples. Peter is said to be the one who urged the other Apostles to choose the replacer of Judas, after the Ascension of Jesus. Saint Peter and the other eleven Apostles, on the day of Pentecost spoke to the gathered crowd and baptized 3000 Christians. He founded the Church of Antioch; he baptized and ordained Bishops, travelled to Sicily and ended up in Rome, where he ordained Saint Linus, the first Bishop of the Roman capital. He stayed in Rome to be crucified, instigated by Christ Himself, who appeared before him marching towards Rome with a cross. On the spot of his martyrdom and death (64 AD or 67 AD) a magnificent Basilica was built by Saint Constantine. His tomb is located below the central Chancel Table of the Cathedral of Saint Peter at the Vatican.
