Saint Apostle Peter

Saint Apostle Peter Saint Apostle Peter was one of the twelve apostles chosen by Jesus Christ to spread his teachings and establish the Christian Church. He is often regarded as the leader of the apostles and is considered one of the most important figures in early Christianity. In Orthodox iconography, Saint Apostle Peter is typically depicted as an elderly man with a white beard, holding a key in his hand. This key symbolizes the keys to the kingdom of heaven that Jesus gave to Peter, as recounted in the Gospel of Matthew. Saint Apostle Peter is venerated as a saint in the Orthodox Church, and his feast day is celebrated on June 29th. He is considered a patron saint of fishermen, net makers, and shipbuilders, as he was a fisherman before being called by Jesus to be an apostle. Orthodox Christians often pray to Saint Apostle Peter for guidance, protection, and intercession, believing that he continues to watch over and care for the Church as one of its earliest leaders. His steadfast faith, loyalty, and humility serve as an example for all Christians to follow in their own spiritual journeys.
