Description	Inside view of St. Anthony Catholic Church, built in 1955 and located at 1901 San Gabriel Blvd in the city of San Gabriel. Photo shows a long stained glass window depicting a large image of St. Peter. The Apostle Peter, also known as St. Peter and Simon Peter, is often depicted in the Gospels as the chief spokesman of the Apostles, and the one to whom Jesus himself personally installed as Head of the Apostles and gave special authority to. It is written that on various occassions, Peter spoke in the name of the other Apostles. He clung with the greatest fidelity, firmness of faith, and inward love to the Saviour. Because of this, Peter and Paul always occupy the places of honour on the right and left of Jesus Christ. The Roman Catholic Church considers Simon Peter a saint and associates him with the foundation of the Church in Rome. In more modern times, St. Peter is depicted as the "keeper of the keys of the kingdom of heaven", and is often thought of as an elderly, bearded man who sits at the pearly gates that serve as heaven's main gate, and personally interviews prospective entrants into Heaven. Photo dated: December 23, 2006.
