Roman Martyrology: Ceremony of the Apostles Peter and Paul Simon, son of Jonah and brother of Andrew, was the first to confess among the disciples that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God, after whom he was named Peter. Paul, apostle to the Gentiles, preached Christ crucified to Jews and Greeks. Both, in faith and love for Jesus Christ, proclaimed the Gospel in the city of Rome and died as martyrs under Emperor Nero: the first, according to tradition, crucified upside down and buried in the Vatican near Via Trionfale, the second pierced with a sword and buried. on the Via Ostiense. On this day, the whole world celebrates their triumph with equal honor and reverence.
