According to the saying the St. Apostles Peter and Paul were
brothers. St. Peter, who is portrayed as a saint dressed in white
attire holding the keys to the Heaven's gate, is honored on this
day. He determines which soul is pious and which is not and decides
who goes to the Heaven after his or her death. St. Paul is honored
but not by the canon on the next day - 30th June. |
