Sts. Peter and Paul
Sts. Peter and Paul were the two big leaders in the early Church, both who would eventually be martyred for their faith. Peter, the rock on which Jesus built his church, served as the first Bishop of Rome and is considered the first pope. Under the reign of Emperor Nero, Peter was crucified, though he was crucified upside down since he felt unworthy to die in the same fashion as our Lord. Paul is known for his conversion (January 25) and his journeys preaching to different parts of the Roman world. He was arrested during his fifth journey to Jerusalem and was beheaded in Rome in the year 68. Although Peter and Paul did not always agree and were very different people, they are celebrated together for being fathers of the Church who were martyred for their faith.
