Saint Peter was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ and the first leader of the early Christian Church. He is also know as the “rock” upon which Jesus built his Church.
The key is a symbol of Saint Peter’s authority and responsibility as the keeper of the keys of heaven. Jesus gave him this power when he said, “I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven” (Mt 16:19).
The key also represents Saint Peter’s role as a shepherd of Jesus’ flock, a fisher of men, a preacher of God’s word, and a martyr for his faith. He was crucified upside down in Rome during the persecution of Emperor Nero in the first century AD.
Saints are spiritual beings who have been tasked with maintaining this Earth, watching over the affairs of humanity and each has dominion over a portion of nature. Each Saint is identified with natural forces as well as with human interests or endeavors. These Saints are mediators between humanity and the Supreme Being.
Pray to Saints because they are already in heaven, and they can intercede for you. In moments of anxiety, you need to hope and believe in something that helps you recover faith and maintain peace in your life.
