'''Saint Peter''' (c. 1 BC – c. 64–68 AD), also known as Simon Peter, Cephas, or the Prince of the Apostles, was a [[Saints|saint]], fisherman, [[apostle]], and the first [[Pope]] of the [[Roman Catholic Church]], recognized as the “Rock” upon which Jesus built his Church (*Matthew 16:18*). Born in [[Bethsaida]], [[Galilee]], Peter was called by Jesus to become a “fisher of men” (*Matthew 4:19*). As the leader of the Twelve Apostles, he preached in [[Jerusalem]], [[Antioch]], and [[Rome]], establishing foundational Christian communities. Martyred by crucifixion in [[Rome]] under Emperor Nero, he requested to be crucified upside down, feeling unworthy to die as Jesus did. Canonized pre-Congregation, Peter is venerated for his faith, leadership, and martyrdom.<ref name="catholicsaints">{{cite web |title=Saint Peter the Apostle |url=https://catholicsaints.info/saint-peter-the-apostle/ |publisher=CatholicSaints.Info |accessdate=18 May 2025}}</ref>
Peter’s legacy endures as the patron saint of popes, fishermen, [[Rome]], net makers, shipwrights, and bakers. His [[feast days]] are celebrated on 29 June (with [[Saint Paul]]) and 22 February (Chair of Peter) in the [[Latin Rite]]. His primacy, affirmed by Jesus’s words (“You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church”), underpins papal authority and is central to Catholic and [[Eastern Orthodox]] theology.
