Vatican: Heavenly gates keepers


Saint Peter Basilica in Vatican as Heaven unlocking mechanism in a keyhole. 

The crossed keys symbol was formerly used as a symbol or an emblem of the ancient Roman God Janus and the Mithraic God Zurvan (Iranian) who were both gods of time and keepers of doorways, and removers of obstacles. The keys were symbols of these ancient gods and then used as an emblem for Saint Peter. This symbolism led to the legend of Saint Peter as the bureaucratic keeper of the "pearly gates."

99% BAD HARDWARE WEEK: From Janus we got month January. But in Rome first month was March. Long time before January. St Peter keyhole shaped cathedral we got only in 16th century. Thus, hardware is everywhere. Even in the most unexpected places. Holy See should be renamed as a Holy Keyhole?
