San Pedro, como era calvo / Saint Peter, as He Was Bald
Keywords:
folktale, Legenda aurea, S. PeterAbstract
The fact that Saint Peter is depicted as bald in the Catholic popular tradition is probably due to an episode narrated in the Legenda Aurea (XIIIth century): when St. Peter preached in Antioch, the inhabitants shaved the top of his head in an attempt to mock the Christian law.
