St. Peter was one of Our Lord's twelve apostles and chosen by Him to be the first leader (pope) of his Church. Peter was crucified up-side-down and earned a martyr's crown in doing so. He would have been declared a saint by acclamation of the early Christians and bishops. At the time there was no official process in place for canonization of saints.
