1 — 64 · Feast day: June 29
Simon Peter, a fisherman from Bethsaida in Galilee, was called by Christ and named the 'Rock' on which the Church stands — given the Keys of the Kingdom at Caesarea Philippi. Though he denied his Lord three times on the night of the Passion, he repented bitterly and was restored by the Risen Christ, going on to lead the early Church, preach at Pentecost, and die by crucifixion upside down in Rome under Nero.
6 BC — 60 · Feast day: November 30
Andrew the 'First-Called' Apostle followed Jesus after John the Baptist identified him as the Lamb of God, then found his brother Peter and brought him to Christ. Tradition holds he preached in Greece and Scythia before being crucified on an X-shaped cross in Patras, having asked to be bound rather than nailed, deeming himself unworthy of Christ's cross.
