Window # 12       Disciple:            St. Peter: (Apostle, Martyr) Because he felt unworthy to die as had Christ, St. Peter requested that his                              cross be inverted so that he might look Heavenward as he was crucified. Peter is symbolized by two keys                              which depict Jesus saying I will give you the keys of the kingdom of Heaven. (Matthew 16:19)   Biblical Scene:     Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come,... and from Jesus Christ                               the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us                               and freed us from our sins by his blood , and made us to be a kingdom, priests serving his God and                               Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen (Revelation 1: 4-6)     Cross:                  The Crown and Cross: These symbolize the reward of the faithful in the life after death to those who believe                               in the crucified Savior. Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee the crown of Life. (Rev. 2:10)
