The Chair of Saint Peter at Antioch (36 – 42)

Antioch, in Syria, was the city where the first Pope of the Catholic Church, Saint Peter, set up his Chair after our Lord's Ascension and Saint Peter's departure from Jerusalem. 

Around 7 years later, in the year 42, Saint Peter set up his Chair at Rome

Saint Peter occupied his Chair at Rome for twenty-five years, from the year 42 to the year 67, when he was crucified for the Faith.
