Life

Saint Peter of Rome is commemorated on 15 January. The time and place of his life and struggle are not known. The commemoration is found in the Handbook of the Clergyman and in the January Menaion, where it came from the Complete Calendar of the East of Archbishop Sergius (Spassky), with the following supposition: the commemoration of Peter of Rome would be a mistaken doubling of the commemoration of Peter of Atroa.

He is not included in the present calendar of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Commemorated the same day January 2
