The Story of Saint Peter

Recently my son Dominic, age 7, had to do an assignment in which he got to write about his favourite saint, so he chose Peter.
In an effort to make the project more interesting, not just for him but for his entire class, I had him draw all the key characters of the story, recorded him doing the narration, and then set to work bringing his drawings to "life"
I hope to make more of these with my kids in the future in a series about the various "Saints" throughout history, maybe a series on Martyrs and definitely a series relating Bible stories.
The story briefly chronicles the key points in Peter's life, first as a fishermen, meeting Jesus, following him, witnessing his miracles, walking on water, the denial of Christ on the night of his trial, the resurrection and finally Peter himself going on to share the Gospel and performing miracles in Christ's name until his death by upside down crucifixion!
To the Catholics Peter is considered the first Pope, and whether or not you agree with this title, one thing is for sure, he was a key component of the forming of the early church and quite possibly the source behind the account of the Gospel of Mark.
