The Petersfriedhof or St. Peter's Cemetery is - together with the burial site at Nonnberg Abbey - the oldest cemetery in the Austrian city of Salzburg, located at the foot of the Festungsberg with Hohensalzburg Castle. Its origins date back to about 700, when the adjacent St. Peter's Abbey (Stift St. Peter) was established by Saint Rupert of Salzburg. The abbey's cemetery, probably at the site of an even earlier burial place, was first mentioned in a 1139 deed, the oldest tombstone dates back to 1288.
Closed down in 1878, the site decayed, until in 1930 the monks of St. Peter's successfully urged for the admission of new burials.
St Peter's church in Redmile is a handsome medieval building with a graceful steeple and an ironstone nave and chancel. Internally there is an alarming lean on the north wall, though this has doubtless been the case for centuries.
I thought this was going to be an indepth interview with a Priest using St Peter's Square as a backgound. However, what actually happened, was the Priest spoke for about 30 seconds, and then the Priest and the TV crew went their seperate ways.
Glass window inside Saint Peter's Church (Sankt Petri Kirche or Petrikirche) in Hamburg. The church is the city's oldest parish church and one of Hamburg's five principal Lutheran churches (Hauptkirche).
Pope blessing crowd at St. Peter's Square. This was the only time we saw the Swiss Guards in their colorful (jester-like) uniforms. The guards at the side gates were dressed in more normal looking military (working) light-blue uniforms. I didn't point a camera at them because they were carrying automatic weapons,rather than just spears, and were much closer.
The Church of St Peter & St Paul in Trottiscliffe built between 1077 and 1107 by Bishop Gundolph of Rochester. Today they Church sits in amongst farm buildings and I've used one of these to frame the shot.

This is St. Peter in Chains Cathedral, the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati, located along Plum Street in Downtown Cincinnati. Designed by architect Henry Walter, it was built between 1841 and 1845, the Greek Revival-style Church was the first Church of its size west of the Appalachian Mountains, and was built when the city was the only major population center not on the east coast. The church features a single white limestone spire above the main entry, with minimal details, which rises 224 feet above Plum Street, which was the tallest structure in the city for much of the 19th Century. Below the spire and around the front entryway is a colonnade 33 feet high, which encloses the portico on the front of the church, and Corinthian capitals that are unique in their appearance. The interior features Greek-themed mosaics, Corinthian columns, and large bronze doors, which sets it apart from most other Catholic cathedrals in the United States. The church is the third to be home to the diocese, having been originally located in the city’s first Catholic Church, known as Christ Church, before moving to the old St. Peter’s Cathedral in 1826. Within a decade, the old church was too small for the growing Catholic population of the city, and plans for the current church were put forth. By the 1930s, however, the church had become dilapidated and needed many repairs, leading to the diocese moving uptown to St. Monica’s Church in CUF in 1938, and the church’s decline continued for the next decade and a half as it was used as a parish church. However, in the mid-1950s, major work was undertaken on the structure under the leadership of Archbishop Karl Joseph Alter, and the church was restored, renovated, and expanded, modernizing the old structure and allowing the archdiocese to return to it, with rededication as a cathedral occurring in 1957. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and continues to be the seat of the Catholic Church in Cincinnati, which has long had a large Catholic population and is home to many spectacular parish churches and institutional buildings associated with the church.
St. Peter ad Vincula (St Peter in chains) is unusually entered from the north and unfortunately difficult to photograph from the south.
St. Peter's has a 60,000 capacity. From the entrance to the golden window behind the canopy is the distance of two football fields. The dove in the window has a wingspan of a 747.

St Peter's at Mancetter stands close to a former Roman settlement on Watling Street and possible site of Boudica's last stand. The church is a substantial medieval building with spacious nave and aisles and a long and well lit chancel, culminating in the church's best feature, an east window filled with fragments of medieval glass.
The ancient glass here belongs mainly to the 14th and century, though there are late 15th century canopies and other fragments as well as Victorian material mixed into the patchwork in the lower panels. Three figures in the central light belong to a Jesse Tree, popularly assumed to come from Merevale but the figures only match the glass there in date and subject, comparing the scale and treatment here suggest they come from a different source and thus are more likely to originate here instead.. The surrounding figures in quatrefoils however appear to originate from the east window of the north aisle in this church.
There is a fine 17th century memorial and an impressive font at the west end, along with an usually small and amusing 18th century royal arms.
The church is normally kept locked without keyholder information except for a few hours on Saturdays when it is open for visitors to see the new exhibition in the south aisle..

St Peter's Church hidden along the northern promenade it is worth looking out for the lovely Franciscan church built by 12th-century Crusaders. The Muslims converted it into a mosque, and you can make out an area of uneven stone on the southern wall filling in the hole where a mihrab (prayer niche indicating the direction of Mecca) was carved. Later, the Turks used the building as a caravanserai before it was rebuilt as a church in 1870. . Its two features are the boat-shaped nave, a nod to St Peter's piscatorial profession, and the courtyard built by the Polish soldiers stationed here during WWII.
The Rt. Rev. Alexander Gregg, Bishop of the Diocese of Texas, officiated at the dedication of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Rockport on November 30, 1871. Led by lay ministers for much of its early history, St. Peter's first was located at the corner of Live Oak and Wharf Streets near the railroad depot, where services often were halted due to the noise of arriving and departing trains. Relocated to this site in 1954, St. Peter's became a self-sustaining parish ten years later. It continues to serve the community with a variety of programs. (1991) (Marker No. 5078)
