The Great Ocean Road
The Great Ocean Road in Australia is a paradise for photographers. The 240 km long coastal drive offers breathtaking views of the ocean, rugged cliffs, and lush forests, with panoramic lookouts providing excellent photo opportunities. The Twelve Apostles, a collection of towering limestone stacks, is a highlight and is best captured during sunrise or sunset. Other notable attractions include Loch Ard Gorge and Gibson Steps.

The glorious company of the Apostles praise You; the noble fellowship of the prophets praise You; the white-robed army of the martyrs praise You. Throughout the world, the holy Church acclaims You: Father, of majesty unbounded; Your true and only Son, worthy of all worship; and the Holy Spirit, Advocate and Guide.
from the Te Deum hymn.

Arca non putri fabricáta ligno Manna tu servas, fluit unde virtus, Ipsa qua surgent animáta rursus Ossa sepúlcris.
Ark of sweet wood not destined for ruin, Holding the manna, whence springeth forth the power Summoning forth the bones again arisen From depths of the tomb.

What then were the apostles? It is plain from the divine record that they were men immediately commissioned by Christ to make a full and authoritative revelation of His religion; to organize the church; to furnish it with officers and laws, and to start it on its career of conquest through the world… The apostles, the twelve, stand out just as conspicuous as an isolated body in the history of the church, without predecessors, and without successors, as Christ Himself does. They disappear from history. The title, the thing itself, the gifts, the functions, all ceased when John, the last of the twelve, ascended to heaven.

In Christian theology and ecclesiology, the apostles, particularly the Twelve Apostles (also known as the Twelve Disciples or simply the Twelve), were the primary disciples of Jesus according to the New Testament. During the life and ministry of Jesus in the 1st century AD, the apostles were his closest followers and became the primary teachers of the gospel message of Jesus. There is also an Eastern Christian tradition derived from the Gospel of Luke of there having been as many as seventy apostles during the time of Jesus' ministry.
The term apostle comes from the Greek apóstolos (ἀπόστολος) – formed from the prefix apó- (ἀπό-, 'from') and root stéllō (στέλλω, 'I send, I depart') – originally meaning 'messenger, envoy'. It has, however, a stronger sense than the word messenger, and is closer to a 'delegate'.

The disciples saw our Lord in the flesh, face to face; they heard the words He spoke, and in turn they proclaimed the message to us. So we have heard, although we have not seen.
Are we then less favored than those who both saw and heard? If that were so, why should John add: so that you too may have fellowship with us [1 Jn 1:3]? They saw, and we have not seen; yet we have fellowship with them, because we and they share the same faith.
And our fellowship is with God the Father and Jesus Christ, His Son. And we write this to you to make your joy complete [1 Jn 1:3-4] — complete in that fellowship, in that love and in that unity.
Saint Augustine, First Homily on the First Letter of John (§3)

The Feast of the Chair of St. Peter celebrates the papacy and St. Peter as the first bishop of Rome.
St. Peter's original name was Simon. He was married with children. He was living and working in Capernaum as a fisherman when Jesus called him to be one of the Twelve Apostles.
Jesus bestowed to Peter a special place among the Apostles. He was one of the three who were with Christ on special occasions, such as the Transfiguration of Christ and the Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane.
He was the only Apostle to whom Christ appeared on the first day after the Resurrection.
Peter, in turn, often spoke on behalf of the Apostles.
When Jesus asked the Apostles: "Whom do men say that the Son of Man is?"
Simon replied: "Thou art Christ, the Son of the Living God.”
And Jesus said:
"Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood have not revealed it to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
And I say to you: That you are Peter [Cephas, a rock], and upon this rock [Cephas] I will build my Church [ekklesian], and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
And I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven." (Mt 16:13-20)
In saying this, Jesus made St. Peter the head of the entire community of believers and placed the spiritual guidance of the faithful in St. Peter’s hands.
However, St. Peter was not without faults. He was rash and reproached often by Christ. He had fallen asleep in the Garden of Gethsemane instead of praying, as Jesus had asked him to do. He also denied knowing Jesus three times after Christ’s arrest.
Peter delivered the first public sermon after the Pentecost and won a large number of converts.
He also performed many miracles and defended the freedom of the Apostles to preach the Gospels. He preached in Jerusalem, Judaea, and as far north as Syria.
He was arrested in Jerusalem under Herod Agrippa I but miraculously escaped execution.
He left Jerusalem and eventually went to Rome, where he preached during the last portion of his life.
He was crucified there, head downwards, as he had desired to suffer, saying that he did not deserve to die as Christ had died.
The date of St. Peter's death is not clear. Historians estimate he was executed between the years 64 and 68.
His remains now rest beneath the altar of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.
