Did you know that even though people correlate the upside down cross with Satan, it actually symbolizes how peter didn’t want to be crucified in the same manner as Jesus.
Later accounts expand on the brief Biblical mention of his visit to Antioch. The Liber Pontificalis (9th century) mentions Peter as having served as bishop of Antioch for seven years and having potentially left his family in the Greek city before his journey to Rome.[42] Claims of direct blood lineage from Simon Peter among the old population of Antioch existed in the 1st century and continue to exist today, notably by certain Semaan families of modern-day Syria and Lebanon. Historians have furnished other evidence of Peter’s sojourn in Antioch.[43] Subsequent tradition held that Peter had been the first Patriarch of Antioch.
Peter might have visited Corinth, as a party of “Cephas” existed there.[10]
Eusebius of Caesarea (Eusebius Caesariensis, ca 260-ca 340), in his “Historia Ecclesiastica”, while naming some of the Seventy Disciples of Jesus, says:
“… and the history by Clement (of Alexandria, c.150 – c. 215), in the fifth (chapter) of Hypotyposeis; in which Cefas, the one mentioned by Paul (in the citation): «when Cefas came to Antioch, I confronted him face to face» (Galatians 2:11), it is said he was one of the Seventy Disciples, having the same name with Peter the Apostle“.
