Marking the place where Peter denied Christ three times before the cock crowed. Gallicantu= cock's crow. The church, on the slopes of Mount Zion, marks the place of Caiaphas's Palace, where Peter denied knowing Christ (Mark 14:66-74) Inscription at bottom of the door: The cock will not crow today until you will deny three times that you know me. This was also the place where Jesus was held by Caiaphas in a pit on the night before he died. It still exists under the church.
The Pit. It is also believed that this is where Peter and John were held (Acts 5:17-23). Dennis read Psalm 88 to us. St Peter in Gallicantu from another angle.
