About this Artwork
St. Peter (Simon Peter) 1 AD - 64 AD St. Peter, originally named Simon, was one of Jesus Christ's closest disciples and is considered the first Pope of the Catholic Church. Born in Bethsaida, he was a fisherman before being called to follow Jesus, who renamed him Peter, meaning "rock." Despite famously denying Jesus three times, Peter became the leader of the early Christian church after Christ's resurrection. He preached the first Christian sermon at Pentecost and performed numerous miracles recorded in the Acts of the Apostles. According to tradition, Peter was martyred in Rome during Emperor Nero's reign, choosing to be crucified upside down as he felt unworthy to die like Jesus.
