A San Antonio woman claims she sees the face of St. Peter in an agate stone.
She says the significance is clear.
The woman points out that in the Bible, Exodus 28:17:21, the verse describes priestly robes adorned with 12 stones. The 12 stones represented the 12 houses of Israel. In the passage, one of the 12 stones is an agate.
She also points out that Catholics believe Jesus changed Simon's name to "Peter"(Cephas in Aramaic, Petros [rock] in Greek) and said, " On this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it." (Matthew 16:13-20)
She says to her the stone is a symbol of hope, which is especially timely during this Easter season.
