Saint Peter
The Biography of Christ's Apostle, from Fisherman to Patron Saint of Popes
Saint Peter is one of the most prominent figures in Christianity, being one of the Twelve Apostles and a leader of the early Church. He appears in all four New Testament gospels as well as Acts of the Apostles. According to traditional Christian teachings, Saint Peter died under Emperor Nero's rule by crucifixion in Rome. Many ancient churches venerate him as a major saint and founder of both the Church at Antioch and Rome, with Jesus promising him a special position within His church. The New Testament shows his influence through preaching and eyewitness accounts while he also appears in several apocryphal works such as Acts of Peter and Gospel of Peter. Although Protestant historians suggest it was not until later that local congregations were led by bishops, Catholic and Orthodox teachings believe they were guided by Saint Peter himself before this time period. Going further back into history, Irenaeus explains how Apostle Paul founded and organized the first Church at Rome together with Saint Peter who remains to be an important figure for many people today due to his significant impact on Christianity's growth throughout history.
