罗马现在有80%以上信奉基督教或天主教，其中很大的原因是起源古罗马，基督教就在这里开始了越来越多人信奉了。耶稣的其中两大门徒Paul and Peter，当时也在罗马宣教。现在葬在这里。我建议对基督教有兴趣的信奉者可以来罗马探索，这里有很多耶稣的画像，毕竟和他一起宣教的Peter and Paul很多时间都是在罗马宣教。
罗马的日历是耶稣诞生第一年开始计算年份！
这张照片是大家排队摸Peter的脚。摸不到耶稣的脚因为他死后三天复活升天了。
转自维基百科：耶稣的诞生在年表中提出了一个有趣的悖论。罗马人使用约会系统，其中城市或罗马的神话基础的年份是它的主要参考点，并且他们命名为第1年AUC，代表ab urbe condita，“从城市的建立”。在耶稣的生命之后的几个世纪，Dionysius Exiguus（约公元前470年 - 公元前544年），一位居住在罗马的希腊僧侣和神学家得出结论，耶稣出生于753年AUC，这个日期被广泛接受。旧的罗马约会系统逐渐被一个新的系统所取代，其中主要的参考点是耶稣的诞生。那一年后来被称为公元1年，Anno Domini“我们的主年”。耶稣诞生前的几年被命名为BC，“在基督面前”。这意味着，根据Dionysius Exiguus的计算，罗马城是在耶稣诞生之前753年建立的。现代奖学金不是BC / AD符号，而是传统约会的另一种命名：BCE“在共同时代之前”和CE“共同时代”。
Saint Peter (Syriac/Aramaic: ܫܸܡܥܘܿܢ ܟܹ݁ܐܦ݂ܵܐ, Shemayon Keppa; Hebrew: שמעון בר יונה Shim'on bar Yona; Greek: Πέτρος Petros; Coptic: ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ, translit. Petros; Latin: Petrus; r. AD 30;[1] died between AD 64 and 68),[2] also known as Simon Peter, Simeon, or Simon (/ˈsaɪmən/,
pronunciation (help·info)), according to the New Testament, was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, leaders of the early Christian Great Church. Pope Gregory I called him repeatedly the "Prince of the Apostles".[3] According to Catholic teaching, Jesus promised Peter in the "Rock of My Church" dialogue in Matthew 16:18 a special position in the Church. He is traditionally counted as the first Bishop of Rome—or pope—and also by Eastern Christian tradition as the first Patriarch of Antioch. The ancient Christian churches all venerate Peter as a major saint and as the founder of the Church of Antioch and the Roman Church,[2] but differ in their attitudes regarding the authority of his present-day successors (the primacy of the Bishop of Rome).
The New Testament indicates that Peter's father's name was John (or Jonah or Jona)[4] and was from the village of Bethsaida in the province of Galilee or Gaulanitis. His brother Andrew was also an apostle. According to New Testament accounts, Peter was one of twelve apostles chosen by Jesus from his first disciples. Originally a fisherman, he played a leadership role and was with Jesus during events witnessed by only a few apostles, such as the Transfiguration. According to the gospels, Peter confessed Jesus as the Messiah,[5] was part of Jesus's inner circle,[6] thrice denied Jesus[7] and wept bitterly once he realised his deed, and preached on the day of Pentecost.[8]
According to Christian tradition, Peter was crucified in Rome under Emperor Nero Augustus Caesar. It is traditionally held that he was crucified upside down at his own request, since he saw himself unworthy to be crucified in the same way as Jesus. Tradition holds that he was crucified at the site of the Clementine Chapel. His remains are said to be those contained in the underground Confessio of St. Peter's Basilica, where Pope Paul VI announced in 1968 the excavated discovery of a first-century Roman cemetery. Every 29 June since 1736, a statue of Saint Peter in St. Peter's Basilica is adorned with papal tiara, ring of the fisherman, and papal vestments, as part of the celebration of the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul. According to Catholic doctrine, the direct papal successor to Saint Peter is the incumbent pope, currently Pope Francis.
Two general epistles in the New Testament are ascribed to Peter, but modern scholars generally reject the Petrine authorship of both.[9] The Gospel of Mark was traditionally thought to show the influence of Peter's preaching and eyewitness memories. Several other books bearing his name—the Acts of Peter, Gospel of Peter, Preaching of Peter, Apocalypse of Peter, and Judgment of Peter—are considered by Christian denominations as apocryphal, and are thus not included in their Bible canons.[10][11][12]
