 The statue of St Peter on the saint's feast day June 29th is the Feast of St Peter & St Paul and, for this day alone, the medieval bronze statue of St Peter (in St Peter's Basilica) is duly dressed up to mark the occasion. As Peter is held to have been the first pope, he also sports a papal tiara.
