The Church of St Peter in Jerusalem should not be mistaken for the St. Peter's Church, which is located on the Jaffa Hill in Tel Aviv. The location of Church of St. Peter is said to be where Jesus was denied three times by Peter. Hence the name Gallicantu, or "cockcrow", for the place. We all know that when Peter was denying Jesus, there coincided the crows of the cock, which Jesus said would be the sign of Peter's denial. So now we have pictures here of the two shrines for St. Peter, while I have yet to locate a church here in Israel dedicated to Saint Rita of Cascia and the Infant Jesus of Prague.
