+'''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.
