REFLECTION/Q&A

CHAIR OF ST. PETER

A feast for a chair? It might seem surprising, but this week on February 22nd we celebrate the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter. The Latin word for "chair" is cathedra. From there we get the word "cathedral" to designate literally the "seat" of the bishop. Cathedrals - and the bishop's chairs inside - are symbols of the bishop's authority. So on this feast we don't celebrate where the Apostle Peter sat down, but we celebrate the Church and her apostolic origin. As Pope Benedict XVIII said, "it is a symbol of the special mission of Peter and his Successors to tend Christ's flock, keeping it united in faith and in charity" (Angelus Message, February 19, 2012).
