Saint Peter (a.k.a. Simon, Simon ben Jonah, Peter Simon, or Peter, Paul and Mary) was one of the twelve original disciples (or, if you prefer, apostles) of Jesus. A Galilean fisherman,' he (with his dog Brian) was literally "called" by Jesus to become an apostle, although Jesus had to leave several messages on his answer machine prior to closing. Peter left his family, as well as his highly successful career as a fishing-boat captain to follow Jesus. Most Catholics view him as the first Pope, and all Christians view him as the first Huguenot. Several people also view him as simply huge.
