Saint-Petersburg 

The second largest city in Russia. The most populated city in the world situated so far north. Also the one with the world's deepest underground. Founded 1703, became a capital 1712. Located on the shores of Baltiysky's Bay.
Has some beautiful architecture in the old city center. People there considered to be rather cultured in part due to the fact that there are many museums, theaters, opera houses, libraries, universities located in the city. But also known for its street culture. (check out the band Leningrad, which got its name from the city - during the Soviet times it carried the name of Lenin - was called Leningrad ('the city of Lenin').

Let's visit Saint-Petersburg in the summer so we can walk at night and not get mugged as it's light!

Saint-Petersburg 

As well as the city in Florida, USA, it is also a big city in Russia (the second after Moscow according to the population). Founded in 1703 by Peter the Great (czar and the first EMPEROR of Russia). Sometimes called the Venice of the North or the Northern Venice. It was the capital of the country from 1703 and up to the October Revolution (if not mistaken :)). Often colled the Northern capital (of Rusia). White night and the Hermitage museum, St. Isaac Cathedral, the Russian Museum, and so on

The white nights in Saint-Petersburg are unforgettable!

saint peter 

A man, Simon called Peter, who was a discipline of Jesus Christ. While his real name was Simon, he was given the name "Peter" (which means The Rock) by Jesus Christ after Simon Peter answered Jesus's question of "whom say ye that I am?"

Some theologist argue over whether Jesus was referring to Simon Peter himself, or Simon's statement "thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."

"He saith unto them, But whom say ye
that I am?

And Simon Peter answered and said,
thou art the Christ, the Son of the
living God.

And Jesus answered and said unto
him, Blessed art thou, Simon
Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not
revealed it unto thee, but My Father
which is in heaven."

-Matthew 16:15-18

And I also unto thee, that thou
art Peter (Petros = a small moveable
stone), and upon this rock (Petra = as a foundation unmoveable) I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Saint Peter's Launching Pad 

Beds in a hospital ward, usually in the emergency department, that are reserved for the sickest patients who are not expected to get better.
Named this because Saint Peter is said to guard the gates of heaven and the people on these beds are presumed to be seeing him very soon.

Three patients on Saint Peter's launching pad.

Saint Peter 

Is known biblically as the first pope, "The first stone to build his (God's) kingdom.."

The keeper of the gates (the keys) of heaven.

He was crucified upside down per his own request because he believed that he was not worthy to be crucified like Jesus. Consequently his cross is the inverted cross, which to some may be satanic. "Coincidentally," Jesus at one point does call Saint Peter "Satan" because "For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.” Matthew 16:23; here, there is a distinction between Lucifer and Satan.

He is syncretized with the Orisha Ogun in the Santería tradition.
Ogun is also associated with keys.
