Saint Peter the Apostle

The fisherman who became the rock of the Church

Fourteen episodes on the life of Simon Peter, Galilean fisherman who became the head of the apostolic college. Sixty-six years: from Bethsaida and the Capernaum boats to the calling on the Jordan, from the miraculous catch to walking on water, from the confession at Caesarea Philippi and the Transfiguration on Tabor to the night in Gethsemane. From the sword against Malchus to the three denials in the high priest's courtyard, from the empty tomb to the dawn fire on the shore of Tiberias and the threefold restoration. From Pentecost in Jerusalem to the lame man at the Beautiful Gate, from the vision of the sheet in Joppa to Cornelius the centurion in Caesarea. From the angel breaking the chains of Herod Agrippa to the journeys through Anatolia and the letters from Babylon, from the Roman years to the Appian Way where Peter meets Christ carrying the cross. From upside-down crucifixion in Nero's Vatican circus to the tomb in the necropolis, from the 1939-1968 Vatican excavations to Paul VI's declaration that the relics had been identified.
