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.

Simon, renamed Peter (latin for rock or something, him being the rock of christianity). The first Pope.
by Gumba Gumba March 17, 2004
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.

A Jesuit Catholic, all-boys school in Jersey City, NJ. This school is noted for its success in SOME sports like football, wrestling, track, and baseball, and not Hockey or Swimming, and the lacrosse program has had some success in previous years, but not like Delbarton or. Most students are from Hudson County, which includes Jersey City, Bayonne, Secaucus, Hoboken, and others. The kids are trashy, incredibly stupid, drug addicts, nerdy, or normal kids who want to transfer halfway through their freshman year and about only 1% of each grade is cool. Half the kids there live in Bayonne, which is just a terrible, terrible place. This working class, industrial city is often compared to the fiery depths of hell. All in all, Saint Peter's Prep is a terrible school, mainly because of the area it is in and the notoriously racist, and fucking annoying student body
"I'm thinking about applying to Saint Peter's Prep"
"DON'T, that school is an AWFUL place. My only friend who goes there HATES it."

A all boys school in Jersey City New Jersey. The best all around school in Jersey. The kids here aren't little shits like delbarton and are actually athletic and somewhat smart unlike seton hall or other essex schools. The bergen schools like SJR, bergen, and bosco are our bitches and wish they were like us. We throw huge parties and fuck the baddest bitches at prep. We are absolutely unfair in football, basketball , soccer and baseball, and the lax and hockey is on the rise.
Boy 1: Hey bro what school do you go to?
Boy 2: I go to Saint Peter's Prep
Boy 3: Oh shit you must be a beast at whatever you do

School for prepubescent spoiled bratty mfs who Cant take a loss. Considerably worse at every sport than Hudson Catholic. Saint Peters tends to be the second choice school
when paired with Hudson Catholic. Students at Saint peters prep tend to have a fear of women hence why they surround themselves with other men.
