The Significance of Saint Peter The Apostle

The holy, glorious and all-laudable Apostle Peter is the leader of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. His feast is celebrated on June 29 along with the Apostle Paul.

The divinely-blessed Peter was from Bethsaida of Galilee. He was the son of Jonas and the brother of Andrew the First-called. He was a fisherman by trade, unlearned and poor, and was called Simon; later he was renamed Peter by the Lord Jesus Christ himself, who looked at him and said, "Thou art Simon the son of Jonas; thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter)" (John 1:42).

A handmade icon on naturally aged wood following the technique of lithography, creating a unique piece of beauty. Based on a copy of Byzantine art, the hagiographer painted this work following the traditional methods, as taught in the iconography workshops of the Athonian State.
