Barque of St. Peter

The term Barque of St. Peter or Ship/Boat of St. Peter or Barque of the Church, symbolises the Roman Catholic Church as a barque. The symbolism refers to St. Peter, the first Pope, a fisherman who became one of the 12 Apostles of Jesus. The Roman Catholic Church believes the role of St. Peter and the Pope as his successor is steering the Barque of the Church towards the port of salvation/heaven. The symbolism may explain the etymology of the naming of the central part of churches as nave, which stems from the Latin word for ship navis.
