About Saint Peter the Apostle (Chair of Saint Peter)
Peter, a Galilean fisherman, was called by Jesus, confessed him as the Messiah, failed him during the Passion, and was restored to shepherd the disciples. The feast of his Chair celebrates the apostolic teaching ministry and unity entrusted to Peter and his successors. Ancient tradition locates his final witness and martyrdom in Rome.
