The term Chair of St. Peter may refer to a chair kept in a reliquary in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome purportedly used by St. Peter. However, the term actually signifies the episcopal office of the Pope as Bishop of Rome. This is similar to using the phrase 'seat of government' to signify where the ruling body of a country or state is located. For example, the seat of government of the United States is in Washington, DC.
