Peter and Paul the Apostles
Great Feast, Πέτρος και Παύλος
The feast of Sts. Peter and Paul honors together the two chief Apostles. St. Peter, the fisherman of Galilee who confessed Christ as the Son of the living God, was foremost among the Twelve and, after his denial and restoration, strengthened the brethren and preached to the end. St. Paul, once a persecutor of the Church, was converted by the risen Christ on the road to Damascus and became the Apostle to the Nations.
