Peter's faith was so steadfast that Jesus called Peter “the rock”, the unwavering disciple on whose shoulders Jesus would build his church. On this very location - Vatican Hill, Peter had been crucified and buried. The early christians built a small shrine over his tomb. As Christianity spread, the shrine got bigger, layer upon layer, culminating in this colossal basilica. The entire Catholic Church had been built literally upon Saint Peter's tomb. #‎EPIC‬
