When Peter and Paul arrived in Rome, the city was already one of architectural magnificence. But Rome’s lasting triumph was being carried in the hearts of these two saints - something more enduring than all the marble monuments put together - CHRISTIANITY.
Follow the stories of Saints Peter and Paul from the Holy Land to the streets of Rome. Simon, a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee, became the man whom Jesus commissioned with the words "You are Peter and upon this Rock I will build my Church..."
Saul, a highly educated Jew, a citizen of Rome, initially persecuted the new Christian Church, until on the road to Damascus, he experienced a startling conversion.
These men arrived separately in Rome and ministered to those with whom they had contact; both were imprisoned; both were martyred during the first Roman persecution of Christians and both had a profound impact upon the early Church.
Today, we can still see reminders of the early Church in Rome - the artwork in the Catacombs, the Basilicas of Saints Peter and St Paul, St. Peter’s Square - site of Nero’s infamous Circus (where many Christians were martyred)...
