San Pedro, known in English as Saint Peter, was one of the twelve apostles and appointed by Our Lord to be the first leader (pope) of his church. Peter did many good things during his life but his sainthood was assured when he suffered martyrdom for his faith. He was crucified upside down as he did not feel he deserved to die in the same manner as Our Lord.

There are a number of other saints named Peter or Pedro. If you had someone besides Peter the Apostle in mind, feel free to ask another question but be specific about the name.
