Description
A statue of Saint Peter holding the keys to heaven and scripture. St.Peter's focus is on Jerusalem where our Lord died on the cross, and subsequently rose from the dead.
As the first Pope, St. Peter carried on the Tradition taught by Jesus, which is continued to this day. The keys to heaven are St. Peter's metaphorical authority.
The Bible, of course, culminated in 382 AD at the Council of Rome, which was convened under the leadership of Pope Damasus, promulgating the 73-book scriptural canon that we commonly refer to as the Bible today.
Matthew 16:19 "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." ~ Jesus
This photograph was taken in a courtyard at Providence Hospital in Olympia, WA. The image is finished with textures and filters.
