The Name

According to the legend, Peter met Christ when he fled from Rome to escape martyrdom. He asked: "Domine, quo vadis?", "Lord, where are you going?", and Christ answered: "To Rome, to be crucified again." This helped Peter overcome his fear of martyrdom, and he returned to face his persecutors. The authenticity of the story, from the apocryphal Acts of Peter is uncertain, but it is a good story that shows Peter in the way we know him from the Gospels - afraid and confused, but always obedient in the end.
