SAN PEDRO APOSTLE

Saint Peter  (born Shimon Bar Yonah; died AD 64–68), also known as Peter the Apostle, Simon Peter, Simeon, Simon, or Cephas,  was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus and one of the first leaders of the early Christian Church. He appears repeatedly and prominently in all four New Testament gospels as well as the Acts of the Apostles. Catholic tradition treats Peter as the first bishop of Rome – or pope – and also as the first bishop of Antioch.


PADRE MANUEL DE NAJERA

Manuel de Nájera was one of the most acclaimed preachers of 17th-century Spain. A member of the Society of Jesus, he became famous for his pulpit career, establishing himself as one of the most important royal preachers of the reign of Philip IV.
