  Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles 

Saint Peter was born in 1 AD in Bethsaida, Gaulanitis, Syria, Roman Empire. He was ordained as the First Pope on AD 33 by Jesus Christ. According to the New Testament, Saint Peter was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, leaders of the early Christian Great Church. He was martyred between AD 64 and 68 (aged 62–67) on Vatican Hill, Rome, Italia, Roman Empire.

Saint Paul is also known by his native name Saul of Tarsus. He was an apostle (though not one of the Twelve Apostles) who taught the gospel of the Christ to the first century world.

He was born in AD 5 in Tarsus, Cilicia, Roman Empire. He was martyred in AD 67 (aged 61 or 62)  in Rome.

Saint Paul is generally considered one of the most important figures of the Apostolic Age. In the mid-30s to the mid-50s AD, he founded several churches in Asia Minor and Europe. Paul took advantage of his status as both a Jew and a Roman citizen to minister to both Jewish and Roman audiences.
