St Peter was one of the twelve Apostles of Jesus and the first Pope of the Church. Originally called Simon, he worked as a fisherman in Galilee. Jesus gave him the name Peter, “the rock”, and entrusted to him the singular task of governing the Church.
Peter is known for his firm faith, but also for his human weakness, such as his threefold denial of Jesus before the Crucifixion. After the Resurrection he became a courageous preacher of the Gospel. He travelled to Rome, where he founded the Church of Rome and finally died a martyr.
