After the June 7 holiday for Flag Day, a new national holiday is approaching on the 2024 calendar of Peru. Without a doubt, a date for all citizens to enjoy a well-deserved rest, a trip or enjoy time with family or friends.

Framed in the calendar of saints, the Catholic Church annually celebrates the solemnity of the Saint Peter and Pablofigures who are honored as founders of the Church of Rome, and who, according to the words of Pope Benedict XVI, together always represented the entire Gospel of Christ.
According to information shared by the portal of the Vaticanthe first of them, Pedrowhose given name was Simon, was born in Bethsaida, but lived in Capernaum and worked as a fisherman on Lake Tiberias.
After his approach to Jesus Christ, the Patron Apostle of the City of Rome Together with his brother Andrew, he witnessed events such as the resurrection of Jairus’ daughter, the transfiguration, and the agony in the Garden of Olives.
With respect to Pabloalso known as the “Apostle to the Gentiles”, the Vatican reports that from his father, who was a line weaver, he learned the art of manufacturing, and along the way of his apostolic life he founded several Christian communities, and wrote some of the first canonical writings.
Likewise, another of the great considerations that exalt his image is linked to the early Church, and he is widely recognized for his conversion since at the beginning he was a blasphemer, persecutor and fervent enemy of Christ.
The consequent conversion of Saint Paul It was a pure miracle of God’s grace after meeting and coinciding on the way to Damascus because according to what Pope Benedict XVI said, “It was not simply a conversion, but rather a death and resurrection for Paul himself.”.
So much Pedro as Pablo They died tragically on the orders of Nero, and as Christian tradition tells us, the martyrdom of both occurred on the same day. June 29 in the year 67, after the first of them was crucified upside down as a prisoner in the circus of the emperor of the Roman Empire located on the Vatican Hill, while the second was sentenced to death to be decapitated on the Via Ostiense.
