EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving depicts Saint Peter, the first Apostle of Jesus Christ and the first Pope of the Catholic Church. Born around 1 B.C. in Bethsaida, Galilee, he was originally named Simon but was later renamed Cephas, or Peter, which means 'rock' in Aramaic. According to the New Testament, Peter was a fisherman by trade until he met Jesus, who chose him to be one of the twelve apostles. Peter's faith and devotion to Jesus were unwavering, and he played a crucial role in the early Christian community. He was present at significant events such as the Transfiguration and the Last Supper. After Jesus' crucifixion, Peter became the leader of the early Christian church in Rome, a position that would later be recognized as the papacy. Peter is often depicted in art with keys, symbolizing the keys to the kingdom of heaven that Jesus gave him. In this engraving, he is shown wearing a richly decorated robe and holding the keys in his hand, emphasizing his position as a spiritual leader and the gatekeeper of the faith. This image is a testament to the enduring legacy of Saint Peter in Christian history and religious tradition. His story is an essential part of the Bible and the foundation of Catholicism, Christianity, and other branches of the Abrahamic faiths. This engraving serves as a reminder of Peter's profound impact on the world and the enduring power of religious belief.
