| St Peter's statue dressed for today's feast day |
At the entrance to Lancaster Cathedral, which is dedicated to St Peter, we have our own statue modeled on the one in St Peter's Rome
There is a great tradition of statues being dressed for their feast days; here is the famous statue of St Peter adorned with a red cope and papal tiara.
For a short explanation of this feast day, listen to Chair of St Peter short audio
The chair is a symbol of St Peter's teaching authority. In each Cathedral there is a Cathedra which is the symbol in the Mother Church of the authority of the Bishop.
