Initial Q with St. Peter the Apostle This initial begins an unidentified chant for a feast celebrating St. Peter. He can be identified here by the key he holds and points to with the other hand. The Gospel of Matthew (16:18-19) records that Christ symbolically gave Peter the keys to heaven. This image shows the reverse of a cutting with an historiated initial from a choir book.
